It all started with two kittens and two children.  A fluffy kitten was chosen by the boy, and one with a smudge over her eye was chosen by the girl.  They were young children so they choose the obvious names.  As they grew older a new T.V. series of wild lions was released.  The brother and the sister watched this program, not noticing that the cats watched as well.  “Oooh, I love this program!” purred Fluffy.  “So do I!” Smudge meowed.  The screen showed a pride of lions being stalked by vultures.  “The food we find is ours….so fly off dragon, or I’ll eat you too!” roared the lion.

“Gosh, our relations are cool!” purred Smudge.

A moth was bashing the window, “Smudge,” Fluffy whispered, “A dragon is outside”.                       

“What?” Smudge looked out the window. “Not just one, hundreds of ‘em.” 

There were moths spread all across the field.  As leaders of their pride, the cats went to fight.  When they reached the field the boy and his sister noticed them.  They laughed at the cat’s impressive acrobatics, but they didn’t notice.  As the cats had finished off the moths, a shriek came from the trees so they went to investigate.  When they reached the tree tops a pigeon startled them. 

Smudge fell out of the tree.  “Smudge!” Fluffy wailed, she swiped her paws at the pigeon but she couldn’t hit it.  As the bird was about to flap its wings Smudge struck at its back shouting “Take that evil dragon!”  The pigeon flew off. “Well done Smudge!” Fluffy yowled.  Feeling triumphant, the pair trotted back to the house.

Later that day, another episode appeared. “The lion pride is starving and must find some food.” said the commentator.  The expressions upon the children’s faces were much like the lion cubs. “Come on,” roared the lion “let’s go hunt!” a few minutes later they came back with some meat. “Tuck in cubs!” purred the lioness. The cubs ripped the meat to pieces. The children looked like they were going to puke. “Fluffy,” said Smudge “I think our pride is hungry, let’s go hunt!”

Fluffy agreed so the pair went back to the field.  It took hours before they came back with something. Unfortunately the cats couldn’t kill it, so they released it in the kitchen.

The next day at breakfast they noticed Smudge staring behind the shelf.  The shelf moved, and a bewildered bunny hopped out.  “Kill it!” hissed smudge.  As she was about to strike the children caught the cats and took them outside.

“How could you hunt a cute and fluffy bunny? How?” yelled the girl. “Cute and fluffy?!  It’s a long eared demon which should be eaten!” meowed Fluffy.  “And  the moths, you’ve killed them off too, haven’t you?”   “What’s a moth?”, “We only kill dragons!” pleaded Smudge.  “Don’t you ever do that again….you hear me? NEVER!” shouted the girl.

“We only did it for the pride…” meowed the cats.
