Swish Swish

Many may view Oscar as nothing but a grumpy ass it but it is only because they never got to opportunity to see the gentle streak in him that is a mile wide. This tiny cat is scared and alone and the donkey tries his best to calm and help the unknown child. Bright blue eyes watch the youngster as he offers to take her to meet his herd, a gentle smile curling his lips as her tail swishes and she gives an eager nod. The tiny kitten agrees to it if he thinks that his herd will like her and the equine’s brows lift as he leans toward her to, once again, ruffle the fur atop her head while a gentle chuckle rumbles out.

Nostrils flare as his muzzle works, blowing warm air onto her head as he lovingly kisses her head and, when he pulls away, the fur is even messier than before. Warm words assure her, “Of course they will want to meet you. We have a bit of a habit of helping those in need. Plus, I know Taiga will want to talk to you.” Luckily, Nugget draws her attention for the moment and the kitten steps forward to get a better look at the bird but accidentally blocks the rooster from her view.

The tiny feline’s ears fall flat in disappointment as she looks to him, questioning if the rooster always rides on his back and the ass dips his in a nod in acknowledgement as he says, “Aye, that he does. It is faster for us to travel if he rides up there. You know… I don’t think he would mind sharing the space.” Oscar darts a glance at Nugget who gives a nod of approval and the donkey carefully folds his front legs until he is resting on his knees. From there, he carefully lowers his rump until he is laying down and is now much lower than before.

Turning his head to look at the child, the donkey offers a happy smile as he joyfully says, “Well, come on. There is a herd I know who would love to meet you.” And with that, he waits for her to climb aboard.
