Big Cats and Other Difficult Things » Places

         

Nowell just smiled like an idiot when Rek spoke to her once more. She honestly couldn’t believe he was talking to her. Deep down she had a ball of excitement ready to burst. Nowell had bonded, a bit late, but it happened. She wasn’t just an ordinary human. Her father would be so proud. Her smile slowly faded. She thought of how he may not believe her. She wasn’t sure she could prove she was bonded to Rek. The cat likely wouldn’t corporate with her. Nowell rolled her eyes Rek. Again, he was biting the hand that fed him. This cat was something special.

Her dark brown eyes stayed on the cat as he tried to reach for the leg. Rek was stubborn. An amused smile graced her lips. Nowell knew from the start this cat would be an issue. The cat was now more of an issue since they bonded. He was not polite. She placed the meat back into the bucket. Slowly she squatted down a bit to be eye level with the slot. She made sure to keep far enough so he couldn’t harm her.

“I do not have to apologize to you for any reason. Perform my function? I do not need to perform it. No one will even care if I leave you unfed. Hell, a party likely would be thrown if you died,” she paused to take a deep breath. This cat was pushing her buttons. She didn’t like being mean to him and that bother her.

“Rek, we are talking as we bonded. I am surprised it happened as I am passed the age for bonding. If your words didn’t enter my mind, we wouldn’t have a problem. I thought Terra Cats were suppose to be smart, I told you what I wanted already. Though, to remind you, I want an apology, but it doesn’t seem like you are going to apologize. I guess you do not want this fresh elk,” she said as she slowly stood up straight. Nowell picked the buckets up and walked a few feet away from the pen. When she stopped, her gaze returned to Rek.

“Oh, and now you only talk to cats and me. I have plenty of other humans to talk to, but I am pretty I don’t annoy them. I will stop bothering you for today. I will just go and take care of more appreciative cats. I know the prefect group of cubs that’ll enjoy this elk,” she said, her tone a bit hushed. She was in view of other humans now. Nowell wasn’t too eager to tell anyone she bonded. Would they even believe her? Probably not.
