Sorry for not updating. Laziness.


Monday

Poppy and I decided to go explore today. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to play with my sister. There was a weird scent we decided to follow. That was a bad idea. It lead us right to what I think was a dog. It matched the description Quince had given me, anyway. It was at least twice our size, and had an enormous mouth. I don't want to be near that mouth! Poppy and I had speed on our side, fortunately, and we managed to get away. After the run in with the dog, we went home straight away. When we got there, Quince was sitting on my fence, a betrayed look on her face. Uh oh, that's for sure. I said bye to Poppy and she went home. As soon as Poppy left, Quince started. I don't want to think about it. I'll write about it tomorrow and come up with a plan.


Tuesday

Yesterday. That ended terribly. Quince went on and on about how betrayed she felt because I was hanging out with my sister more than her. I told her if she didn't like my sister, she could just not come here. She left, muttering something about "Doesn't know anything." and "So ungrateful." That's she-cats, I guess. After that, I don't think I ever want a mate! If they are anything like Quince, I'd run the other way! I still want her as my friend though, but I don't think she'll be coming back soon after what I said to her. Poppy came at dawn to watch the forest with me. She told me that she had heard our conversation. She was clearly hurt by the things Quince said about her. I promise to look after my sister more than anyone else.


Wednesday

I really don't want to do this, but Poppy has forced me. Tomorrow, we're going to track Quince down. I still don't understand why Poppy wants Quince to be my friend again, knowing what she said about her, but she told me that she wants me to be happy. I tried telling her that I'm happy playing with her, but she just ignored me. What is it with she-cats? We're meeting up at the front of my fence at dawn, and tracking her scent to her home. Hopefully it goes well! I better get to sleep, I've got an early morning!


Thursday

We met at dawn, just as planned. Unfortunately, the rest of our plan didn't go as smoothly. I went to the spot Quince leaves my house from, and started sniffing for her scent. I tracked it to a dirt path, and Poppy and I followed her scent trail. It took us to someone's home. I had a gut feeling that it wasn't Quince's. Her and another cat's scent landed on my tongue. It was Noah's. Today I finally got the pleasure to meet him, but it wasn't very pleasurable. He said some rude things to Poppy and I that I would rather not repeat. At least I know Quince wasn't lying about him! I also noticed that Quince's scent didn't lead to her home, as if she hadn't left the place. I didn't sense her presence, so she definitely couldn't have been there. I wonder where she is?


Friday

I really didn't want to go outside today. What if Noah followed us home and is at the front door? I tried to pretend I was asleep, so my housefolk wouldn't make me go outside, but they knew I was faking. When I went outside, there was no sign of Noah. Good. I went over to Poppy's and jumped on her fence. I looked through the window, and saw her staring at me. I flicked my tail to tell her to come out, but she just shook her head. She's even more paranoid than me! That made me lose motivation, so I went back home and went to bed. Look's like lazy day has come a day early!


Saturday

Not much happened today, same as most Saturdays. I sat on fence for a long time, listening to birds chirping, and smelling the forest scent. I wonder what it's really like in there? Are they really cats that eat kits? Why would they do that? Why do I believe these rumors? They're just cats, after all. I'm sure they wouldn't harm an innocent cat who is exploring the forest. It's not like they own the forest. Tomorrow, I am going into the forest. How do I feel? Scared. But I also feel that I am going to make difference to this place. Everyone needs to know that they don't have to spend their lives in their homes. There's a whole world out there, so live in it! I'm getting WAY too excited. I just can't wait!


Sunday

I decided to go after dawn. That way, I'd be able to explore the forest without being caught. I sat on my fence at dawn, watching the sun rise. Once it was half way to sunhigh, I hopped down from my fence, and started walking towards the forest. Poppy must've seen me from her window, because she bolted towards me and pushed me onto the ground. I never knew how much strength she had! She told me that I was crazy to go out there, and that I would've been killed and eaten. I tried to tell her that sane cats wouldn't eat other cats, but then she said, "They are insane!" and stomped back to her home. That's when the craziest thing happened. I saw a cat that looked like she was made of stars! She told me "We are not insane, yet do not come into our territory. Stay in your home." Then she disappeared! I can't wait to tell Poppy! Although, she might not believe me.
