A better day

The cat bounced towards him, and Katsuro's ears flattened in fear. The cat wasn't much taller than the male, but one glance at the claws could show that the cat could still do more damage than he. The cat said something, words he didn't understand, and Katsuro tilted his head. The other swatted at him, and Katsuro backed away even more, his eyes wide with fear. Was this cat going to toy with him before it killed him? The male moved away from the strange creature that seemed to only be able to move by leaping or bouncing. What was this creature, anyways?

"Nani?" His voice came out cracked, and he didn't know if the other would even understand him. Maybe the creature spoke his other tongue as well. If so, then it was full of surprises.
