FEATHERFLURRY
The night was so nice during the winter time, and this was always his favorite time of the year. As each season passed, he always looked forwards to winter. He walked through the forest, sparkly white clumps of coldness clinging onto every hair that touched the icy ground. The tom-cat was going to go stand on the ice. it was something that he enjoyed doing every year when it snowed. he liked the adrenaline rush it gave him, the feeling of standing over fox-tail lengths of water, and being shielded by a thick, or thin, layer of ice that coated the water over, leaving it freezing. occasionally, he wondered where all the fish went, but dismissed it because they always tended to come back from wherever they had left from.
the only problem was that with all the fish gone, all they had to eat and to survive off of was feathers and fur, also known as rodents and birds. this fact truly disgusted him, as the fur of mice and rabbits got stuck between his teeth whilst he attempted to rip skin from meat, and the feathers of birds got lodged in his throat occasionally, and he always ended up choking on them later on.
taking a deep sigh, featherflurry's dark grey paws slapped their way down into the gorge that lead down to beside the river, and he stepped one cautious paw onto the ice, pressing down to make sure he wouldn't get stuck between the icy water, and the ice on top that was covered in snow. registering that it was safe, the tom that couldn't swim flung his body onto the ice, skidding across to the other side. a small giggle escaped his lips.
yes, it was official that this was his most favorite thing to do when the weather was cold outside. exhaling air out of his lungs, he breathed back in to taste the taste of burning air, and smiled, his body sprawled out among the snow and ice. he was sent out here to go hunting, but he figured that that could wait, just this once. it would be awhile before he would be able to do this again.
for now, the tom felt like he was on top of the world.
