Heath smiled a little in reply to the professor, but he nearly laughed out loud when the subject turned to cats' behavior around other felines. Not so much that the subject itself was funny, but knowing Rey, she'd probably annoy the other cats by following them everywhere or something! Unlike her shy owner, Rey never met a stranger, human or feline, that she couldn't befriend! As such, Heath waited until after he'd retrieved a leash and harness - blue, like the other Rey's lightsaber, of course - to let her out of her carrier. He didn't want her running off and getting into trouble!

FREEDOM!!! Rey shot out of her carrier like a rocket the second the door opened. Her eyes darted back and forth, taking in the strange sights around her. Yaaaay, new friends! Look at all the other kittehs! Hiiii, other kittehs! I'm a kitteh too! There sure were lots of smol hoomans. Ooh, and a big hooman too! Hey, hoomans! Who wants to pet me? She flopped onto her back with a cheerful meep as an invitation. I iz cute fluffeh Jedi cat!

What a Jedi was, Rey had no idea, but her hooman said she got her name from one so it must be good!


Heath waited until Rey was distracted to slip the harness on her. Now they just needed toys and treats, and they'd be good to go. Which toy would Rey like best, though? He decided to let her pick for herself. He led her to the toys, watching as she made a beeline straight for a feather wand. Looks like they had a winner! He gave Rey a moment to two to play with the toy as he gathered a few treats before grabbing the end of the stick and jiggling it in the direction of the first obstacle. "We've got this, Rey!" Or they did as long as he could keep her focused on the course and not the other cats and people around!

Hey, what are you doing, smol hooman? Get this thing off - BIRB!!!! Must get birb! Rey rolled on the ground, wrapping her front paws around the feathery thing while kicking it with her back ones. Then the birb moved. Hey, where do you think you're going? I'm not done with you, birb! Rey dashed after the birb alongside her hooman, stopping in front of a giant ring thingy.

"Come on, Rey! Get the bird," Heath said. wigging the feather wand in the middle of the first hoop. He watched with a smile as the little gray cat cleared the first hoop, but his expression changed at the sight of the next one. The second hoop was a lot higher than the first, and Rey was small for her age. Maybe it was too high for her? Oh, well, only one way to find out, he supposed.

"Good job!" he said, giving Rey a treat for her efforts so far. "Want to go again?" He jiggled the toy in the center of the second hoop, waiting to see what Rey would do next.

Silly hooman, of course she was going to get the birb! What else do you do with a birb? Rey leapt after the clump of feathers, sailing gracefully through the hoop and landing on her feet. She blinked, looking around. Hey, where's the -?

TREAT!!!!! She greedily gobbled up the morsel her hooman gave her. Mmm… yummy fish! Can I haz more plz?

Look, there's the birb again! Gonna get you this time! Rey jumped again, but she felt herself losing air before she reached the hole in the round thingy. Noooooo! She tried to claw the bottom of the hoop, but it was too late to stop herself from falling. You're not getting away that easily, birb! She tried again, and again she fell short of the hoop.

After several tries, Rey plopped down defiantly in front of the hoop. Nope, too high! You win this round, birb.


Heath frowned. It looked like the second hoop was too high for his hyper little Jedi cat after all! "It's okay, Rey. Try again," he encouraged, wiggling the feather wand, but he knew his cat well enough to know she was done. So now what? Should he keep trying to coax her through the hoop or move on to the next obstacle?
