Amble felt his whiskers bouncing, and turned his widening eyes to the sky.
"...Rain..."
It felt weird, the water under his paws, trapped between his paws and the stone. He lifted his left forepaw and deliberately licked on the of the amber stripes. For a second, his eyes narrowed with fear for his comrades, but he shook it off- a storm? No harm.
He perked his ears at the sound of voices, and leaped upon a low wall. On the other side, he spotted a pure-black cat in the distance.
Nine. Leaping down from the wall, he padded down a simi-empty alleyway, making his way towards her.

Audacious's breath quickened, coming out in large, rasping gasps. She turned to her left, her eyes wide with fear.
She didn't know where the path here led.
She turned to the right, and felt the familiar fear gripping her belly.
She had no idea where that street would take her.
She looked behind her, and squeezed her eyes closed.
All of it was unfamiliar, all of it unknown to her. She let out a squeak as a passing car/horse-drawn carriage ((what time are they in?)) noisily made its way down the street behind her. Audacious turned to bold it for a second, before racing out of the way a moment later, hissing. She rammed herself against the stone wall opposite her, desperately hiding behind a metal bench as the rain started pouring down.
All this for a fish? The tiny cat scolded herself. Even the smell of fish was enough to turn her mind blank. She had followed such a smell willingly for the last thirty minutes, going wherever she could to get closer to the smell. Now it was drowned out with the smell of the rain, pouring down on her meager hiding place. Her old fear, to be hopelessly lost and helpless, clutched at her chest. She crouched down lower, shivering in the freezing rain.

Just back on CS after a looong 2-year gap, so I have virtually no new pets and all oldies and no idea how to work the coding of a CS signature. Will work it out later I think!
