      PURR: Protectors United for Residential Requisition

      Francis was born, as were all of his kind, with a fully conscious mind. He knew nearly everything he was likely to know in his entire life. It was his skinny, little kitten body that was the problem. It was uncoordinated and weak. It didn’t work with his mind yet. And it had fleas.

      Francis jounced down the dark sidewalk, lit only by a street light here and there. His all black fur made him nearly invisible to humans. He smelled the coming of spring, tiny white flowers in bloom, the rains of winter lessening and the soil warming up. Squirrels ran through the trees and chattering birds fluttered on the ground, picking up twigs for their nests. Insects swarmed around the dim lights high above. Not close enough to catch.

      A big dog crossed the street. Francis’ heart leapt as he jumped up on a short concrete ledge, sidled through an iron fence and hid in some thick bushes. He sat hunched up, ready to strike out or flee. The dog wandered past, sniffed the ground and looked through the fence, but moved on.

      Francis relaxed a bit. Still, he stayed beneath the bush, watching his surroundings for quite a while. He was a small kitten still. Homeless and hungry. He hadn’t been adopted when his siblings had. Black cats weren’t popular his mom had told him.

      He needed to move along. This place wasn’t safe. He could smell the scent of stinky dogs on the other side of the bushes. Dogs lived here.

      Sliding back through the fence, he continued down the street. He needed to get to the place where food was left. Before other cats or worse, raccoons, did.

      Then it was on to the other place.

      He ran now, he’d lost time from hiding. He turned quickly and ran down the alley. A sour smelling human was lying among flattened cardboard boxes. Sleeping.

      Francis sped past and stopped a little farther down the alley, where one of the buildings was set back farther from the alley. He stood against the warm brick wall of an adjoining building, surveying the scene.

      The gray tabby tomcat sat near the door. Licking his paws nonchalantly. And waiting. The orange striped cat crouched under the car. Watching the tom. He glanced up at Francis and looked away. Francis wasn’t a threat.

      A calico sat on top of a garbage bin. She was next in dominance, after the orange. The only one missing was the white cat with the ragged ear.

      A light turned on, above the doorway. Then the door opened. The gray tom stood by an empty bowl. Waiting.

      The human came out and bent over the bowl, scraping the food into it.

      "Well, hello Mr.
