Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mlinzi, guardian cat extraordinaire, had the afternoon off from looking after his girl. The reality was more like there wasn’t anything interesting on the tv so he found his way outside and was romping in a neighborhood park, chasing the squirrels mostly, an odd leaf or butterfly helped the monotony of running around a tree in circles. There were even kids to play tag with but Mel knew better than talking around them, even if he really, really wanted to tell the one boy his shoe was untied. Instead he kept everyone on the grass so when the boy inevitably fell, which he did, it was on the grass not the cement.

Apparently though the boy was running fast enough though that he landed hard and started to scream. Mel was torn between helping and not, he was about to go over and try to cheer the kid up with a joke or something when his mom came running. She apparently didn’t appreciate the guardian cat and started to freak out as well. Merowing at the lady didn’t seem to help any, she actually seemed to be more scared now than before, screeching about wild animals and everything. As if Mel was anything more than a perfectly nice cat! Insulted the large savannah cat turned on his paws and sauntered off into the brush, his tail twitching in annoyance. To think, he a protector would hurt a silly child! It was just insulting.

He was muttering under his breath when something gray and small basically ran right under his nose. Forgetting where he was, and the mental orders to keep quiet, Mel shouted, “SQUIRREL!” and gave chase, bursting from the undergrowth in hot pursuit of the furry rodent.

Mel was in such hot pursuit of his current pray that he nearly ran right into another cat who had come running up to him. “Woah!” He had to skid to a stop and still nearly collided with her. Wow was she small. Did she want to play too? Was the squirrel her pray? Did she want to chase the squirrel too? Wait… where did the squirrel go? Mel searched the area in vain looking for the gray rodent he had been chasing before he was rudely interrupted. “Awwww man.” Dejected the large guardian sat and glared at the other guardian, he wasn’t that bright but he wasn’t that stupid. Mel knew the girl who interrupted his game was also a guardian cat.

“Why did you do that? I was having fun?” He pouted and huffed in annoyance. It wasn’t like he was going to hurt the squirrel and since everyone else in the park had left he didn’t have anything else to amuse him. He glanced at the girl again and asked, “Do you want to play? Is that why you came and scared away the squirrel?”
