HeatherClan Book: Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Even More Kits!

Leopardfire woke up and yawned. She padded past the nursery and heard low groans and deep breathing that she recognized. She paused for a moment before she realized that it must be Hazeldawn having her kits. She bounded into the medicine cat den and told Spottedpelt. It turned out, she was right! Hazeldawn's kits were coming! Spottedpelt lied her paw on Hazeldawn's belly when a heavy ripple passed through it.

"Everybody out!" she ordered. "I need some room." Leopardfire immediately obeyed. When she returned, she saw two kits laying on the floor drinking their mothers milk.

"They're beautiful," whispered Leopardfire softly.

Hazeldawn nodded. "This is Starkit," she purred, pointing to the brown kit. "And this is Oakkit." She pointed to the red kit.

"Starkit looks just like you, and Oakkit looks identical to Socks." meowed Lemondrop as she padded in. Just then, Goldenfur came in too.

"Who's Socks?" she asked.

"Hazeldawn's mate from one city we stayed in," Leopardire replied.

"Oh, well, they're beautiful kits," she meowed and padded out of the den to organize dawn patrol.

HeatherClan Book: Chapter 14

Chapter 14: More kits

Silverstar, Hazeldawn, and the other queens were lying in the nursery. Spottedpelt, Jaywing, and Moonrain were with them. Silverstar's kits were coming! Spottedpelt laid her paw on Silverstar's belly when a strong ripple passed through it.

"Get some moss dipped in water and a stick," she instructed Moonrain. He immediately hurried out. Silverstar let out a low groan of pain, and Moonrain came back in.

"Bite on the stick when you feel pain, Silverstar," meowed Jaywing. Moonrain then gave Silverstar the piece of moss and she drank gratefully from it. Then, another ripple passed through her belly.

"Oh!" yowled Silverstar.

"Just focus on breathing," soothed Spottedpelt. An even stronger ripple passed. Crack! The stick Silverstar had been biting on shattered. Jaywing immediately found another bigger, stronger stick.

"The first kit is coming!" announced Spottedpelt. Silverstar pushed hard...and a silvery blue kit slithered onto the mossy ground. Moonrain nipped it's sac and the kit tumbled out .

It nuzzled against it's mother and started to drink her milk, purring as hard as it could.

"A she-cat," reported Jaywing. Silverstar nodded, and Moonrain gave her a couple soothing licks. Then Silverstar began licking the kit, warming it up.

Then, Spottedpelt meowed suddenly, "Here comes another one." This time, a tabby tom appeared, closely followed by she-cat with blue and green eyes, and a flaming pelt. They both nuzzled closer to their mother.

"They're beautiful," whispered Silverstar. Once the kits were all warmed up and drinking their fill, Silverstar meowed, "The bluish one shall be Rainkit and the tabby one shall be..." Silverstar thought for a moment. "Moonkit," she finally decided.

"The red kit could be Birdkit," Moonrain supplied. At the sound of her new name, Birdkit opened her eyes. Moonrain blinked, startled, and then purred in satisfaction. "She looks like a cardinal."

Silverstar nodded, and started grooming her kits.

With a gasp of surprise, she notices two small stumps growing out of Birdkit's sides.

After closer inspection, Silverstar discovered that they were miniature wings!

She immediately knew this was a secret she had to keep alone. She couldn't even tell Goldenfur.

"Three more beautiful kits!" declared Spottedpelt. Silverstar was startled out of her thoughts. Spottedpelt shook her head. "This nursery is going to have to be expanded! First Fernleaf, now Silverstar, next Hazeldawn..." she walked out meowing. "I'll get some poppy seeds to relieve the pain!" she called over her shoulder.

Jaywing took one more glance back and followed her. "Just call if you need help!"

"Moonrain, bring Silverstar a piece of freshkill," commanded Moonflower as soon as Spottedpelt and Jaywing left. She purred in amusement. "You'd better get going! When I had my first kits, Windflight almost forced me to swallow that rabbit whole!"

When Moonflower had kits, indeed, Windflight caught the biggest rabbit the Clan had ever seen and brought it straight to the nursery. Shaking his head, Moonrain padded to the freshkill pile and fetched the fattest vole he could find.

Lyra and Thunder

I own two cats, both of which I love.
Lyra is an outdoor cat with flaming orange fur.  She has serious amber eyes and paws as white as snow.

On the other hand, Thunder is a lively, gray tabby tom who can never sit still.  He has wide green eyes that I just have to laugh at. My cats are very cute. They like to chase one another around the house, often making it sound like we have horses upstairs.  Thunder attacks Lyra by biting her scruff, and Lyra annoys him by pinning him down and grooming them. As you might notice, Lyra and Thunder star in some of my stories, such as How Did Cats Get Their Fur?. In Life With Cats, they are my companions. In HeatherClan Book, Lyra is Sandpelt and Thunder is Graypaw. As Thunder is younger, Lyra is his mentor. And in Lilykit's Adventure, they and Lilykit and and Rosekit's parents.
 My cats are very energetic. Both of them can stand on two paws. Lyra has even gotten into the air vent once! It was very scary. I thought she wouldn't be able to get out, but she did, in the end, unharmed.
Lyra and Thunder weigh 11 and 12 pounds respectively, though Thunder is mostly muscle. They are playmates one minute, enemies another, but I am very happy to have two cute and funny cats in the house!

The Battle With Sazar, The Evil Banana Head

One day, when Super Frog was in his pond resting and Super Kitten was by his side resting, the Evil Banana Head appeared. He captured Super Frog when both he and Super Kitten were sleeping. When Super kitten found out, Super Frog was already squashed under molten rock in the Evil Banana Head's' volcano. Super Kitten rushed to the rescue! She used her sensor power and sensed where Super Frog was. So, Super Kitten rushed very, very fast to the volcano. She rushed so fast she almost ran into a tree! Super Kitten also used her sensor power to sense where the volcano was. The volcano was deep in the forest. When Super Kitten got to the volcano, to save her time, she used her laser beam to laser all of the guards, and when all of the guards were dead, she used her laser beam so much that he had to lie down and couldn't get up again. Then Super Kitten used her last amount of energy to laser the rock between Super Frog and the rock on the top so she could pull Super Frog out. Super Frog couldn't get himself out because of the sudden heat; he had fainted. Since Sazar couldn't get up, Super Kitten sucked up all of his power so she could bury him with molten rock. Then she and Super Frog slept for a day in the volcano and the next day, they both went outside and smashed the volcano into millions of pieces and it was never seen again. Until the rise of Nakumara, at least, but I'll tell you about him later in the series. Much later.

The End

Super Frog and Super Kitten

Once upon a time, a tree frog and a newborn kitten who was wild were friends. Their names were Super Frog and Super Kitten. They played together everyday until the Canny Can Can man hurt Super Kitten. The Canny Can Can man is a can. When Super Frog heard about this he came saying, "Keep your tin off my friend!" But the Canny Can Can man didn't listen to Super Frog. Instead, he took her far, far away into his secret hideout cave. He tied her up on a big, big rock. But Super Kitten already healed up and said, "I am stronger than huge boulders and faster than a speeding cheetah!" As she said that, she broke the rope, smashed the Canny Can Can man with the big, big rock and escaped from his cave. When Super Kitten got out, Super Frog was already waiting for her. They helped each other smash the the cave into thousands of pieces and it was never ever seen again.

Lynx Story- 1: Mating

Part One: Mating

Night was falling, and when the young, female lynx woke up, the moon was already high in the sky; the crickets were singing their newly composed symphony. The female lynx stomach growled, so she crept out of her crowded den to hunt.

Blending with the shadows, the female lynx padded to a nearby grassland to hunt for unaware snowshoe hares sleeping in their burrows.

Suddenly, she tripped over something hard. Glancing down, the female realized she had tripped over the leg bone of a dead deer that was half buried by earth.

Looking up, the female lynx opened her mouth and tasted the air. If anyone was hiding nearby, they were hidden well.

Just as she was about to take a big, hungry bite, the bush behind her rustled. The female lynx froze. Then, out stepped a fierce-looking male lynx with wet fur. He had rolled in wet leaves to cover his scent. The male lynx started growling a warning growl but stopped when he discovered that the female looked as strong as he was-purrfect for a mate. The female padded tentatively up to him and nuzzled his side. The male lynx didn’t growl or push her away. Instead, he started purring! The two spent the next couple of minutes nuzzling, purring, and even grooming each other! Soon, the female lynx would have kittens.

Soon afterward, the male lynx helped the female find a place to build a new den since her old one was already too crowded. They quickly decided on a abandoned den under a rocky ledge. The den was well hidden by tall grass. Then, the female started preparing for the arrival of her babies. First, the female lynx gathered moss and cattail fluff for her bedding. Then, she collected dry grass and combed off her fur to line her bedding. Finally, the female picked the burrs out of her nest and settled down for a long nap. After a night of excitement, the female could barely keep her eyes open. Thinking of her soon-coming babies, she slowly drifted to sleep...

Rabbit Story- 1: Foraging

It's dawn in the Outdoor Learning Lab beside a school and a mother rabbit woke up from a deep sleep. She sniffed her curled up babies and breathed the warm air inside her nest.

Then, with a stretch and a yawn, the cottontail rabbit started washing herself and getting ready for a food finding adventure. She licked her paws, groomed her whiskers, and washed her face.

The cottontail rabbit hopped out of the nursery, through her resting chamber and hopped on until she reached the mouth of her burrow. She then twitched her nose, ears, and whiskers, sensing for any sign of danger. All was clear. The cottontail rabbit was ready to leave the safety of her warm and comfortable burrow.

The mother rabbit braced herself and leaped into the cold morning air. In the open, she checked her surroundings. Nothing. Even though her nose smelled nothing, her ears heard nothing, and her whiskers sensed no vibrations, the cottontail rabbit sensed danger. Around her, everything was oddly quiet. No birds singing and no squirrels scampering around.

The mother rabbit's stomach growled. She had to find food, so she quickly scampered across the field to some fresh frost covered weeds. As she started nibbling the weeds, a gust of wind ruffled her mottled brown and gray fur. The mother froze as a shadow passed over her. Peeking up, she found it was just some cardinals landing on the bird feeder overhead. The birds chattered as they ate. While the cardinals chattered, they dropped some seeds. The mother cottontail quickly scooped them up and ate them. Next, she raced over to the Japanese Garden where she fed on flowery plants that were tender and sweet. Last, the cottontail rabbit raced over to the sweet, tall grass to eat.
