Small Animal News

C's vangaurd consisted of roughly six or seven bunnies. At the time, no one was quite sure what the vangaurd was up to. They moved from place to place, passing out leaflets and other information to local small animals. In the meantime, most of C's forces camped out to the west of L's domain, just slightly out of his reach.
Neighborhood cat L was caught by surprise, he reportedly became very annoyed and suspicious at their audacity. At first, he gathered up his regulars and told them to pursue and eliminate C's vangaurd. Not all his regulars took him seriously, but enough did and they tried to chase down C's vangaurd.
L's regulars were only slightly better off than C's bunnies. The cats could surely shred a bunny if they could catch it, but the bunnies stayed together in order to deter attacks from single cats. By the time the cats realized they would have to act as a group, several hours had already passed. When this happened, C realised that multiple cats operating together would pose a threat to his bunnies and ordered them to withdraw back to the peripheral base.
Following this action, neighborhood cat L became incensed. He ordered his regulars to do an all-out attack on C's peripheral base but found few willing to comply. In the end, any kind of force he could have sent would have been laughable and would have been instantly repelled. So he took it upon himself to call up his mercenaries. The expense to call these guys up was significant, but no problem to him. He simply used the money he had extorted from small animals during his reign over the last several months.
The neighborhood cat's paid special attention to call up mercenaries that were natural enemies of bunnies. A gang of english springer spaniels, dogs bred for hunting, retrieving and flushing out bunnies and other small animals. A gang of snakes who had hunted and killed practically every small animal known to man.
To be continued...
Sindobook:
The neighborhood cat L had planned for these extraordinarily fearsome and well-paid mercenaries to be unleashed on C's forces that morning. But that morning, C, his bunnies, and any other forces were nowhere to be found. The cat grew incredibly paranoid, believing they were hiding and that an attack was imminent. He summoned his two most trusted trusted advisers, his 'right paw cat' known to small animals as R and a 'left paw cat' known only as G. He ordered his mercenaries to find C's forces and decimate them, but the mercenaries said that 'search and secure' wasn't part of their contract. The night before, the cats had paid them only to decimate a base that no longer existed.
So the cats had to pay the mercenaries more, this time with a new multiple-day mission to find out where C's troops were hiding, root them out, and decimate them. Over the next three days, the mercenaries would search for anything, anybody out there who resembled C or any of his force, the bunnies, the (guinea) pigs, the rats, etc. They had no problem securing the areas that C had operated in, though this didn't come cheap. The expenditures were putting a lot of pressure on the neighborhood cat's financial state.
After three days, and little to show for it, the neighborhood cat called off his mercenaries.
Following this, things were pretty quiet. The neighborhood cat L tried to extort some money from the local small animals, but didn't get very much. Then maybe a few weeks ago, he disappeared. It turned out his owner had moved out of town, and taken the cat along with him.
As for C, he became something of a 'living legend' to the local small animals. Few of the locals even know what kind of small animal C is, much less what he looks like or how he behaves (or even if C is a 'he' or 'she'). But it doesn't really matter. When I say local small animals, I mean local to that area, not to mine. C is known for being the one who was capable of standing up to the feared neighborhood cat during his reign of terror.
I can't really say what is going to happen next (I don't know) but I do think we're going to see more of C in the future. What remains of L's old kitty cat gang is in disarray and is also 'running on empty'. Small animals who served in his forces are using their reputations to recruit on their own. I wouldn't say conflict is imminent, far from it. But at the rate things are going, it's honestly only a matter of time before they combine their forces in order to launch another attack on the remnants of L's gang.
Sindobook:
I'm still getting PMs about C. Honestly I've listed pretty much everything I know about C above. Please stop asking stuff.
C exists, you can be assured of that. Honestly there's a lot of people asking 'who is he', 'what is he', 'is he nice', 'is he decent', 'is he a good leader' and a bunch of other stuff like that. In all honesty, C is just a general small animal. I'm not saying every small animal thinks like every other small animal, but they are all pretty decent and they all pretty much act and think in the same way. Occasionally you get a real head case like Yue-bing but these are rare and I can assure you C is not one of these.
For those who want to meet the small animals (the local ones), there will probably be some kind of small animal meet and greet at ALA this year. I'm not making any promises though, not yet.
mamochan:
I get messages about MrE. Do something or he'll eat every small animal on this forum.
Sindobook:
Mr. E is long gone. He lives in Michigan but ran out of cash more than seven years ago. He can't even afford to have internet anymore. All for chasing a false dream. His step-granddaughter (who is also in Michigan) is more of a person now than he ever was, or that he can ever hope to be. And yet he won't even acknowledge her or his ex-wife.
People were asking late yesterday about the V/U event at PMX. Yes there will be one, a few of the local chinchillas are looking into it now. I don't know where, and I don't know how. It will probably be on Saturday.
One of the local pigs said he scouted out the venue recently and it was a real mess. There's no real space inside the venue to hold an event. Wherever it's going to be, it will have to be outside. I'm guessing it will be up on the roof. There aren't any decent open areas nearby or anything like that. Kinda sucks.
And it won't be hosted by a chinchilla. They are going to find someone else to host it or be the "spokesperson" that runs it, at least.
