She pulled back just enough to show him her other forepaw with its dexterous toes and their kittenish claws. "Look, I can climb trees, see? Squirrels never expect someone to be able to follow them. We'll get you one so we can find out what's going on. Are you a healer then, that you use plants and stuff?" She looked around as she chattered, watching for a squirrel to make its way back down a tree as they inevitably did. "So we catch a squirrel and feed it some of your plants? Sounds solid to me."
