*yay~!*

   Maple's furless tail swished and he shook his head, sending trickles of water onto the ground. He loved swimming. He splashed back into the water, swimming to the other side and back. The water rippled over the wrinkles he called skin and formed droplets, in which where scattered back into the stream. He mreowed in delight and dived under the water. His toes spread out and he padled through the water. His head popped through the surface as her jumped onto the dry land. He shook himself dry and sat down to lick his paw. He drew his paw over his face and yawned. He caught a scent nearby. He dropped into a crouch and pounced on a plump, juicy blackbird. He plucked the feathers from a meaty spot on the bird and scattered them on the ground. He ripped open the blackbird'sskin and took a bite of the rich meat.

   When he was finished eating the bird, he gathered up all the feathers and took them to his den, which was and old fox den.Long ago, the fox and left with her pups and never returned. The hunters probably got to them, Maple reminded himself. He crawled into the den and lined the feathers around his nest to add to the thick rabbit furs and moss keepins it warm.He sighed and lay down, the furs and feathers warming his skin. A curtain of lichen and moss covered the entrance to his den, but sunlight added to his warmth. He sighed again and fell into a deep sleep.

  Maple's dreams were filled with the images of his lost twin sister Aspen. The sight of her patterned skin and warm scent filled Maple with glee. His dream didn't last very long. He woke up to an odd scent... Smoke. He yowled and sped out of his den. Three hunters where gathered around his den with cigarettes in their mouths and rifles loaded. They knew this was a fox den, but not that this is where a Candadian Hairless cat lived. Maple hissed and swatted and one of the men. The men left anyway, as this is not what they where looking for. Maple snorted and trotted back into his den. He curled up in his nest and tried to ignore the lingering smell of smoke and tobacco.

((Yeah i'll ake a mental note (well actually I wrot it down on a sticky not next to the computer so I remember to XD) to do that and sorry again for the scare))

 Renn looked to the feild to her left when she smelled the strong smoke of ciggarets not too far off. She jumped down from the tree and padded swiftly twords where the smell was coming from. Suddenly a large man sauntered past her which she instictivly hissed at and bite it's ankle before it ran away. She coninued on her way in the direction from which the putride stench was comeing from. She came to a fox den. "Maybe thats the stench" she thought to herself but it didn't make sence foxes downt ussually smell like that. Underneath the unfamilliar smell she could tell there was...there was a cat!. She advanced twords the fox den. "Hello?" she said inot the den "Who are you if I might be so bold as to ask?" she was standing just outside the opening of the den her voice unwaving with a hint of curiosity.
