Cherry blinked happily at Watertail. "Pleasure!" She purred kindly. The bisexual she cat nudged the tom good naturedly. "Well, if the trouble has passed I've better get back home. You are welcome to come and visit, if you like. If not, then I'll see you tomorrow I hope." She waggled her tail in glee. She glanced to see if either cat was going to join her before sliding away. "I'll be in the den. Just use the cat flap to come inside. I'll probably be on the sofa, if you want me. I'll be back maybe later tonight. See you!" She called over her shoulder.

The slim ginger she cat jumped onto the purple granite counter, tail curling in happiness. Her housefolk her quite rich, but she didn't know that. From there she leaped onto the red velvet tablecloth, the soft matieral fuzzy underpaw. A woman in a satin gown with silky black riglets of hair stroked her head before continuing on, and dropped a tiny chewy cat cookie. Cherry let out a purr and savored it on her tongue. The tile of the kitchen stretched on. Bored of this part of the house, she sautered into the library. It was her favorite part of the house, with books stacked in smooth oak wood bookshelves.
The built in shelves were stacked against the wall. There was a black leather sofa and a recliner in the middle of the hard wood floor. A warm fire crackled in it's place, with three cushions sat in front of it. Each one was the perfect size for a cat, and tiny golden words were written on the top of each one. Lilac was written on a pale pink one with silver tassels. It was made from and was filled with feathers. Jasper, Reedwhisker's kittypet name, was written on a black velvet one. It was stuffed with firm cotton. Finally, on the satin crimson pillow, lay the words Cherry. It was filled with some sort of soft cloth. Cherry sat on her pillow and curled up, letting the fire warm her back.
When she awoke, the lady in the gown was sitting on the sofa, a book sprawled neatly across her lap. Cherry purred and brushed by one of the high heels. The lady murmured a few words and leaned down to pat Cherry on her flank. Glancing up, Cherry saw that along with a thick story, Lilac was also alseep on her lap. Cherry stalked away and went into her rose garden.
A man sat trimming his beautiful rose bushes in the garden of the mansion. Cherry ignored him and walked along the smooth gray stepping stones to the picket fence. She leaped over it and went back into the forest. She inhaled, looking for Watertail and his friend.
