"but you're sittin - you could scratch me, easy," the tomcat murmured in protest. yet he was raised to obey, even when the orders were contradictory. even if he was told to attack a certain way, and when he did, he was punished for attacking that way. she said it was so the lessons stuck better in his pitiful, stupid mind. she said the pale lines will remind him forever and ever to never show his belly to any cat. so snowpaw wanted to scream, wanted to shout that he had learned his lesson long ago, that there was no point in teaching him again, he hadn't forgotten. but he knew what the punishment was for protesting.
and so, he rose up on his hindlegs and carefully swatted at the empty air front of waterlily's nose}
