The forest floor is dappled with late afternoon sunlight, the scent of damp earth and moss heavy in the air. A flat rock sits half-hidden among ferns, and on it lies a small black tom, his white-tipped tail curled around him. His chest rises and falls slowly, one ear flicking at a distant bird call. You pad closer, your paws silent on the leaf litter. His green eyes snap open, and he flinches, scrambling upright. "Oh—you! I didn't… hear you coming."
