[align=center][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; borderwidth=0px;width:400px; font-family: arial][justify]It was time for a fresh start.
Alex didn't have any other particular reason to leave. He supposed his home had been fine. It wasn't exactly worth five stars but it kept him dry and he guessed he slept well enough there, half-exposed to the air at night, in a den that was hardly room temperature. He wasn't a very interesting guy. He hunted for food, he ate, slept, peed in a bush to ward off the other loners, and that was as exciting as his life got. He'd never really been hungry for anything more. Alex was fine with being boring. Boring was safe. Boring didn't take much energy.
He got up and walked away anyway. Lazy, lethargic old Alex walked more than a couple feet - he thought he deserved a medal. He had no specific place in mind - something better than a lousy old bush by a tree would do, he thought. Something with more than the occasional housecat passing by to pick a fight.
"Boy, it sure smells like shit here," said Alex as he stomped right over HawkClan's border. Everyone needed to stop peeing in random places. He didn't want to smell anyone else's urine. Well, fuck - if people were pissing all over the ground here, that meant it was inhabited. "Anyone around?" The feline called, trudging a little farther as he swung his head around, searching for the source of the pee. They really needed to come up with a better way to mark their territories. He didn't think going to the bathroom was very effective. It was rather primitive, actually. Put up a sign or something, maybe some flowers or birds or a wall.
Alex had been thinking about pee a lot lately and it was getting concerning.
