He slept in the trees through the night, where he had eaten the rabbit. Scratch woke just before dawn and glanced down at the ground, taking note of the mouse lying cold on the ground. He sat up, thinking he would have to repay the other cat for their generosity, and bounded down the tree, landing firmly on his feet.
He scented the air, making sure he was alone, and the scent of squirrel flooded his mouth. He crouched, looking around for it. He found it clinging to a tree, not looking at him. He tested the wind and found it blowing to the squirrel and slid to the side so his scent wouldn't carry.
He began to stalk, slowly creeping forward, until the last minute, when he jumped at the squirrel and grabbed it in his paws. He killed it quickly with a bite to the throat, and sat down on the tree root below him. This would be a good replacement for her rabbit.
