Chapter 2 - A Cat's Life

Eat, sleep, play. That's all a cat does. But what does it dream of, how does it feel about what it eats, what does it play with?

Hi, I'm Lion! I'm 3 years old. All the girls love me! Look, here comes Princess, a perfect example of one of my fangirls!

"Hi Princess! Lookin' good. Are you free? We can go chase those white mice! No? Where are you going? Are you busy? That's fine! We can go tomorrow!"

Princess ran off... But that's only because she is shy! I'm sure she will come back! After all, I am a 3-year-old bachelor! I may be slightly chubby, but which girl doesn't love a bit of fat on their man? It shows that I am a rich and well cared for cat!

Well, if Princess won't come, I'll go chase the white mice myself! They belong to my neighbour, Jake. Jake's humans always get so annoyed when I play with them, but Jake doesn't. I don't understand why Jake lets them yell at me... He should really train those humans...

Gosh, why is the walk to Jake's house so long... I'm already out of breath... Now, let's go through that flap and find those mice!

OUCH! Why is the flap locked? The flap is never locked! "Jake! Jake! Jake!" Why isn't he answering? "JAKE! JAKE!" Ah, there he is! Hmph, I bet he thinks he's better than me... But a pure bred Russian Blue is no match for my pure tabby handsomeness! After all, I am a 3-year-old rich bachelor!

"Jake, open your door! Your silly humans have gone and locked it. I told you to train them properly!"

Wait... Did he just snort at me?! That's my job! How dare he snort at me! Well you know what? I can do that too! "Hmph! HMPH! Do you hear me Jake? HMPH!!!"

What a rude neighbour. I'm not going to invite him to our Christmas gathering this year! Well, it's not like he comes anyway... But that's because he can't handle the pure awesomeness that is my great meself! After all, I am a 3-year-old rich handsome bachelor!

Oh look, Jake is back! Heh, I bet he has come to apologise to me! Wait, is that the dog?! No! You can't bring the dog! That's cheating!

"Jake! Put the dog away! We can talk this through! Jake? Where did you go? Did you leave? I knew you were a coward! Hahahaha! Wait.... How did the dog fit through the flap?! No! Shoo! Ahhhhhhh! This is a tactical retreat! You hear me?! I will be back!"

Hmph. What a loser. Who brings a dog to a cat fight? I wasn't running away, I just heard my slave calling me! Food time~

"Hello slave! Have you made my food? Ah, it's time for my massage? Yes! Yes slave, scratch right there! Now behind the ear! Yes! Yes, I am a good boy! I am a good Cuddles!"

Oi. Wait. "Wait a moment! I am not Cuddles! I am Lion! RAWR! See? I roared! I am Lion! Stop calling me Cuddles! Grrr. Bad slave! Now bring me food!"

Ah, food really hit the spot... Well, it's time to go to sleep. I need my beauty sleep, after all, I am a 3-year-old awesome rich handsome bachelor!
