Why did fishing have to be so darn hard! Ovi had been trying to catch a stupid fish for over and hour now. He had never really had problems in that past! Sure before it had been in small pounds or nurseries, but was there really a big difference between those things and a river? He was exasperated and his slate eyes watched as a silvery fish swam past his rusty paws.
He watched it for a while, standing perfectly still as it swam between his paws mockingly, and then, just as it began to slow down, he tensed to strike. Just as large pads and claws lashed out however, the dumb fish seemingly teleported to the other side of the river, DAMN! he cried out in frustration, and then proceeded to make a dash in every direction at every fish he could see. The only thing this accomplished was making a big, splashing racket and scaring all the fish away. He growled angrily and sunk into the water. Well, at least it was a sunny day, and the water felt wonderful on his fur; he was so dirty.
The tiger closed his eyes then, letting his mind drift back to comfortable, haimish times with Sonja and Annabella, as they would giggle and brush his fur until it shown. He missed them so desperately, and he let out a hissing whine echoed by the rumbling of his stomach. God he was hungry.
