“We thought them gods once”, Kay sat on her haunches next to her litter mate Fay who licked her paws, curled up in a ball and proceeded to purr, “i bet you are going to tell me how they fell from grace again”.

Kay was the leader of the feline contingent of the planet, it wasn't much but they had elected her in a vote where every cat was just too lazy to turn up, Fay was the only one who voted and had at least at the time felt mean if she did not vote for her littermate.

“I love telling this story you know…”, started Kay, Fay swished her tail and curled herself up into a circle, her tail tucked under her head, Fay was as black as night, except she had a white tip to her tail. Kay was the opposite, as white as snow and a black tip to her tail.

Kay continued her story, Fay purring in a constant state of awkward tiredness;

“They came to this planet thinking, full well knowing that we were the dominant species, he landed in his shiny metal ship…”

Fay perked up, “it was so shiny, I just wanted to bop it”.

“I did to”, meowed Kay.

“Why the ship was shaped like a ball I will never know”, continued Kay, arching her back.

“Anyway…this human claimed to come in peace!” Fay sneezed and tried to fall asleep again.

“Yeah he did”, continued Kay, “We thought of him as some sort of god for a minute or so…”

Fay grinned, “only because he had food”.

Kay laid down, “there was that, the food was nice and the treats were something also”.

“Do not get me started on the damn treats Kay”, Fay sat up and bopped Kay’s nose, she flinched. “What was that for?”Kay growled and bore her teeth.

“You know full well why”, Fay fell to the floor.

“Oh”, Kay licked and cleaned her nose.

“This human was some kind of mythical creature as long as he could fulfil our food and drink needs”, Fay continued.

Kay purred, “then he ran out, and incurred our collective wrath, well he tried the toys thing, but that did not last long”

“Then he started to starve and he was of no use to us”, Fay closed her eyes and started to doze off.

“He did taste nice though didn’t he, better than those treats he brought”, finished Kay.

I love you Baby
