You've Got to be Kitten Me

Birna crunched away on a seagull she'd managed to snare while digging for clams. She was glad for the larger, warmer meal and spat out a few feathers as she ate. She rested beneath a large log that had been deposited by the tide at some point. It was the best she could find for shelter here. Birna was just licking the blood off her paws when a shift in the wind brought the scent of lion. Uh oh… she rarely had good encounters with lions and was almost certain conflict would break out.

Birna slipped out from her shelter, seeking at first to sneak out of the terra when she spied a lion heading for a young wolf. Well… she had been wanting to practice her fighting skills and she had a particular distaste for male lions. As the lion sprang toward the pup Birna launched herself forward. She slammed into the hindquarters of the lion, her claws digging into either thigh as her fangs sank into his back above the tail. He whipped around trying to get at her, eventually forcing her to let go.
