Moonlightring's Kitting

"I know, you're a very smart boy," said Moonlightring. "I'm worried though that you aren't happy. You don't play with other kits or at least play, like a happy kit would."

Lionkit looked at his mother walked back to her, pawed at her. "So, there something wrong with me?" he asked, looking at her as if there is something wrong with him. He titled her head to the side. He didn't want to disappoint for his mother, or worry her. "I'm sorry, mommy." he meowed.

"Everybody's got issues," said Moonlightring. "What we do is work on them. You just seem like you're shy maybe. Have you tried going up to someone and just joining in what they're playing, or offering to play with them?"

"I was talking to Manakit." Lionkit meowed, pointing to Manakit, were she was. "Does that count?" he asked. Yes he liked getting into trouble since it fun but he didn't want to drag others into it.

"Why yes, of course it does. Did you want to go back and talk to her again?" said Moonlightring.

Lionkit thought about that for a bit. In a way yes he did want to. But in another he wasn't so sure. "Really, I'm fine with playing by myself and stuff. I'm happy mommy. Besides though I seem to enjoy things that get me in trouble I rather not drag other kits into it unless they tend to do that on their own." he meowed to his mother, pressing his red tabby and white pelt against his mother's purring.

"Well, okay if you're sure--just that I think all the time you spend alone you seem to get into trouble then more because you get bored," said Moonlightring. She purred. "Maybe you're still figuring out what you enjoy doing with your time."

Lionkit gave a small purr, nodding his head. "Even if I was playing with other kits, I'd still want go into something that will get me in trouble, most likely." he meowed. He just found the stuff that got him in trouble the most fun to him. "It just that things that will get me in trouble are the most fun to me."

"Well, you have to learn to control yourself enough not to do them," said Moonlightring. "Believe me, if you suffer the consequences that we try to prevent kits from getting into when we say these things aren't allowed you wouldn't find them too fun."

Lionkit gave a small pout. "Sorry to disappoint you then." he meowed, as he got up to walk away. To him it seemed he was doing everything wrong just disappointing his mother.

Moonlightring frowned. "Cut it out. You know you didn't disappoint me', so stop it. Pick yourself up and go play, it's a beautiful day and the others would love to play with you."

"I don't want play now." Lionkit meowed, back, he wrapped a tail around his paws. He wasn't in mood to play now. To him he didn't care even if his mother said he wasn't, he still felt he was disappointing her anyways.

Moonlightring stepped over to her son and groomed him, purring as she did so.

"I love you. And nothing you do could ever change that."

Lionkit let his mother groom him, he started to purr loudly as she did so. "I love you too mommy." he meowed, moving in front of his mother so she can wash him.

Moonlightring licked around his head. "Not bad. You do a good job grooming now. Gotta clean behind your ears better, remember that." She chuckled.

Lionkit gave a small purr of laughter, "Okay I won't. But I like it when you groom me." he meowed, looking back at her.

"Well, enjoy it while you can, you're getting bigger now and won't need mummy's grooming so much after a while. I bet by then you'll be happy to do it all by yourself." He was so independent and rebellious one moment, the next he wanted his mother to give him a bath. She just had to love him.

Lionkit gave a small purr, when he was given a bath. He did enjoy being independent and get himself into trouble. But he did always enjoy his mother bathing him. Even if he can do it himself now. To him, it was comforting to him, but a way he can bond with his mother. "But I like it when you do it, it comforting." he meowed.

"Thanks. I try." Moonlightring finished up giving her kit a bath. "There we go, all clean. You feel better now?"

Lionkit thought about that for a bit, and nodded his head yes. "Yes, I'm better now." he meowed, he pressed his red tabby and white pelt against his mother's pelt purred. He was content with being beside her, like this for now. He started to lick part of his mother's pelt in return.
