I am petrified at the sight of these two mighty hunters

Cats are ambush predators more than chase predators. So rather than acting scared, act oblivious. Look away, turn your back, walk around the corner out of sight, take a rest under vantage points they can access.

Tell that to my ankles!

I am scared. Kitten claws are the sharpest instruments known. I have the tiny holes in me to prove it.

I don’t see anything . . .

I can’t. I’m just so excited!

I have that parasite, I'm incapable of fear around them. I will walk towards them slowly while showing my hand

RIP to you scared up hands. Kitten mittens are sharp.

I read it as "Quacking in my boots", which would also work I guess.

Is that Firepaw and Bramblepaw on their first hunt??

Anyone else read the Warriors books as kids?

I still read them well into my 30s. Also Fireheart (formerly your aforementioned Firepaw) was Bramblepaw's mentor. Apologies if that wasn't actually a mistake and was just an observation on the appearance of the kittens pictured, which as I'm typing this might've been the case

Ahhh no you’re totally right. I was kinda just going off of their colors, but I did think Firestar and Brambleclaw were the same age and forgot Firestar was his mentor. I aughta pick up those books again! I remember getting the first book of that polar bear series by the same author and didn’t really dig it

I never read Seekers. I gave Bravelands a try but I didn't even finish the first book. Same with the dog one, whose name escapes me atm. Just couldn't get into it.

I think there's a game in the making... Unless I'm confusing two different cat warrior things.

Ah yes, Palico cubs learning the ropes.

If you see their butts wiggle, it’s too late 😱

SourDragon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1d

Ummm, I'm a dragon? It's kinda difficult to pretend to be scared. Also screaming and fleeing in terror is often mistaken for roaring and flying off in a rage.

There is bloodlust incomprehensible to human mind behind those eyes.
