[Wicked]

Simone hopped up onto the window sill and paced back and forth her back rippling in agitation. She paced the length of the sill three times then mewed angrily into the shop.

"Terribly rude to throw these bloody bones into MY alleyway."

Her tail twitched. Maybe she shouldn't have started off yelling at them but..
she comes home after a very trying night of prowling to see BONES flying out this window
and right into the alleyway. They didn't even have much meat left on them.

Her back rippled again.
There was a familiar odor inside the shop and it made her feel a bit sick.
She didn't like it and thought it would be best to leave


"Hmph!" She huffed and jumped back down.


Her paws landed lightly on the pavement and she slinked behind the crate she'd made home. The fluff she had pulled out from a discarded coat made for nice insulation on cold nights and the bit of silk she'd snatched was a dream to lay her head on.

But it wasn't cold tonight and she wasn't tired.

The fluff just annoyed her, she thought uncharitably as she batted it into a corner of the crate. The silk.. well that was still nice, she admitted, rubbing her face against it for a moment.

It was uncomfortably lumpy and she discovered her "pearls" underneath it. In truth they were cheap plastic things she found in the street after what the humans called Mardi something. Claws? Yes that was it... Mardi Claws. They were silver, like her, and almost as pretty she decided.
