Stilling her tail, she slowed her breathing and listened rotating her ears around till her ears pricked. There, she could hear it. A small animal snuffling along the leaves. Rocking back a little on her haunches she tensed her body. It seemed to be a few tail lengths away. Leaping forward with her claws outstretched she hoped to land on the mouse. Of course she didnt.
Letting out a yelp she crashed to the ground, since her hind paws slid on the leaf mold under her paws.
