“Fight!” The massive tabby tom snarled at me. We circled each other warily. His hackles raised as he stared straight into my gaze. I knew he would be unsuspecting. I rammed straight into him without a moment’s thought. The cat collapsed, shrieking, as I raked my claws against his belly. He flipped over in the struggle and faced me again, leaping into me, snapping jaws heading straight for my throat. I sidestepped just in time, and his scrabbling claws caught deep into my leg instead. Blood spattered onto the dusty ground, catching the light. This cat meant to kill. So these were the Majors.
