Because I Can [Izu]

[Kori A. Truex]

So with the abandoned airfield, like all airfields… there was extra land around it that was normally grassy. Why she would go the airfield well… being in her cat form would make it a whole lot easier to sneak in and look around. Being a cat was also much easier to escape getting caught. Cats were more agile than humans anyway in case someone tried to make a grab for her thinking she was a stray and they should do a good deed and take them to a shelter or pound. At this thought, she shook her black-furred head and continued padding along through the grass towards the airfield.

The grass was starting to grow taller with the spring season and some patches created enough hiding space if she were to need it. Still away from one of the landing strips, Kori’s black form laid in the grass to observe a bit and to rest. Her black coat did not make this easy since black absorbed more heat and thus Kori was taking a break to cool off. Perhaps in a moment she would see if she could squeeze into one of the shaded buildings or spaces. While she rested however, her black ears flickered even if her green eyes were closed.

A smaller cat entered the air field next that spring day. This was bright orange and only a kitten. He entered sniffing the ground before seeing something move in the grass. That made his ears twitch slightly so he perked his head to look. The object moved again and shined in the light of the sun. The kitten titled his head slightly and walk a little closer to the grassy area. At first he got low to the ground so he was close enough to it. When he was close enough to the thing he pounced on it. As soon as he landed where it was the butterfly fell off toward the other grass area.

The Curious cat wagged his tail lightly and ran after the winged creature. When he caught up with it got scared again and moved across to the another area. The cat mewed lightly in response to it moving away from him. At full speed he ran after the animal again. This time the bug flew toward the run way to fly. Upon seeing it the cat ran toward it almost slipping , but he gained his balance quickly. When he reached the butterfly it flew higher above his small head. The cats ears twitched slightly and he sat down to watch the thing. Before trying to hit it with his paw , but the thing simply flew the side. The kitten mewed at and stood tried to hit with his paw once again. He was determined to catch this thing so he could either play with on his level or eat it. Either one of those was ok with him in cat form. As long as he got to do something with the colorful creature that was flying above his head. When his paw missed it once more he tried hitting it with his other paw.
