She did not hesitate at all, much to his surprise, and before he knew it her long fingers and claws were in his fur and against his skin. It felt amazing, and he closed his eyes and began chuffing despite himself. And then when she stuck her face into him to smell him, he basically cooed. He knew he probably didn’t smell that great, but he didn’t care; a pretty girl was petting him, one of the best things in life for sure.
But her roving fingers stopped on his side, and he felt as she basically skipped her fingers across each of his ribs, he nearly laughed at the sensitive touch but then she asked him if he was supposed to be this skinny. He turned wide, slate eyes at her; was he really that bad? He hadn’t really noticed how much weight he had lost in the last couple weeks, especially with the lack of mirrors or anyone to tell him how he looked, Um… no, I just… haven’t had much to eat lately. He said shyly, and embarrassed. He knew that at his size and age he should be able to catch food for himself, but sadly, he had never been taught how to. He was alright at fishing, but as he had seen the other day, he wasn’t as good as he had once thought.
Then, right on cue, his stomach growled and his white spotted ears flicked back against his head and he grinned nervously at her. Would she think him stupid because he couldn’t feed himself? He sure did.
