And Now I'm Shining Bright

Mieu was hardly listening to his mother. He was sitting in the den, chewing on his own tail as it tried to wag back and forth in his mouth. He was happy, carefree little thing. His blue eyes were shining happily, a whine of excitement leaving him once his mother said that they could go out. Tail would be dropped, not another word heeded as he started to bounce up and down. Outside! Outside outside outsiiiiiiiiide! Mieu would giggle with excitement, looking to his brother and sister back and forth. Then he would look up at his momma as she finished speaking. "Outsideeeeee!" He would howl. His father's words were completely ignored as the little brown furball attempted to barrel past his mother's legs into the world beyond the den, tail wagging a mile a minute as he did so.
