LET'S GO OUT WITH A BANG
It was a picturesque day in twoleg place- the sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and there was a relative sense of tranquility that had settled over gardens facing out toward the woodland. Or at least, there had been a sense of tranquility overlooking things, until a raucus of yowling and spitting broke out in one of the yards. It went on for a few seconds, the sounds of a violent scuffle filling the air, and then it was over. A large brown tomcat lept the back fence of the yard and went tearing down the way, ear split open and bleeding and now missing a chunk of fur from their shoulder.
"AYE, THAT'S RIGHT YA BLOODY COWARD! AND DON'T COME BACK!" hollered Johnny as he lept up onto the fence to watch them run.
His fur was still puffed out and his amber eyes were gleaming, but there was a grin settled on his muzzle that spoke of a job well done, self-satisfaction coursing through the toms veins. He wasn't the largest cat out there, but what he lacked in height he made up for in tenacity and strength, his stocky frame well built and sturdy beneath a patchy coat.
His cheek was sporting a nice cut to it where the intruder had managed to snag a claw in him, but for the most part the tom seemed no worse for wear, standing proudly atop the back fence of his twolegged garden with ferocity burning in his eyes. It was then that he caught sight of another cat, and seeing the lack of a collar around their neck -unlike the fiery red one hanging around his own- he squared his shoulders before calling down to them, grin still plastered on his muzzle.
"What- ya wanna have a go of it as well?" he challenged, still hit with adrenaline.
If this stray cat thought they were going to get a free meal tearing his housefolks trashbin apart, they were sorely mistaken.
