Softstep lay outside her den,looking around in boredom with her pale blue eyes.She looked at the leaves of a tree,waving gently in the wind.She noticed a very small rustling movement in the tree.Her ears twitched as she heard a very quiet mewl.She walked up to the tree and looked up in the branches.She couldn't find the kit.She started climbing.When she reached the topmost branch,she saw a pale grey kit,a gash tore her flank open,hidden in the leaves.The kit was still suckling,she knew.The kit's eyes were not even properly open yet.She picked the kit up gently while purring to soothe it.
She rushed to her den,the kit needed immeadiate attention.She lay it gently on her nest.The kit stopped mewling,but it was breathing.She licked the kit's forehead.She put a poultice on the gash,trying not to sting it.Then,she gently covered it with cobwebs to stay together.The kit fell asleep peacefully.She hurried to the nursery to find a queen to spare some milk as she never had kits.
The kit had been left in the forest by its mother.It had wandered off,unknowingly bumping into a small dog.The dog attacked and left her alone.After a while,her pitiful mewls had attracted a hawk,who carried the to its nest to eat later.Then some cat found her.
