"Area with lots of trees."

"That's what I'd thought!  You aren't saying anything about the forest cats, right?"

"Right."

"Oh good.  Why did it come up?"

"I'm going to put a little house out there."

"Won't the forest cats be mad about that?"

"I wasn't going to put it particularly near any of them."

"I think they have pretty strong feelings about all of their territory.  And you can't smell where the borders are . . ."

"Do you think you could show me? Or tell Cricket how it smells?"

"I know what ThunderClan smells like but not the other three."

"Is there a side where ThunderClan doesn't border anyone else?"

"Just the one right out there, that I know of."  She noses in the direction of the glass doors.

"And this is how far from their border?"

" . . . It's right out there.  I could see it if the fence wasn't in the way."

"Okay, well, maybe I will have to find somewhere else to put my house without stepping on any toes."

"I've had my tail stepped on by housefolk!  It hurt.  You shouldn't step on anyone's anything."

"It's a metaphor."

"Oh.  I hadn't heard that one before."

"No big deal. Do your housefolk know you go out in the woods sometimes?"

"It was really only today because I was so worried.  Mostly I stay around here with the other housecats and Fireheart and Cloudpaw come to see me."

"But do they know? If they ask what we're talking about I don't want to get you in trouble."

"They know I go outside?  I have my own door . . ."

"Okay, cool." He turns to the humans present. "Sorry for the digression."

Jackie looks up from trying to figure out her phonelike object.  "It's fine?  She's never had a chance to talk to humans before so probably whatever she has to say should get priority for a while.  - Humans and whatever you are."

"The English word is 'demon' but I would understand if that were distracting."
