Constellations

Zay
Uh, hey. You may have heard me before, but my name is Zay. I am the leader of the Constellation Cats, but sadly, we face total extinction. There are only 100 of us left in each continent. Leaves about, 250 of us, considering my tribe has only 50- soon to be 53 members. If you're wondering, I happen to be expecting precious cubs. Let me explain our looks. We are small, speedy, cats with leopard or cheetah print. We have medium ears, however, we hear things ranging from 20 - 30 feet away. My tribe is breaking apart, divorcing. Each day our members are either dying or leaving.

I sighed as I watched Sombriva, my brother, train the apprentices. I wish I could be down there. "Zay." A voice said. "Dorve!" I cried, hopping to my feet, then cringed. "Ow.." I mumbled under my breath. I rubbed my muzzle against his. His purring was loud.
