Burning off Energy Cay | She wasn't sure how she hadn't spontaneously exploded by now. The last couple days Cettie's energy had been higher than usual - and for her that was quite a feat. She'd been a whirlwind of energy since anyone could remember and had gotten used to it for the most part. Restless nights that kept her from sleeping because of a constant need to move and do something. It was worse than ignoring an itch. So when she was driven from her den by the urge to do she'd crept through the junkyard before the sun rose and had made her way to a decently large enough area deeper into the yard that she used for tumbling practices. Over the years that really seemed like the best way she'd found to burn off the excess of energy that lived in Etcetera's bones. Granted it was not sometime in the afternoon and Cettie was still at it and still incredibly restless. But no family to worry about waking made it easy to have that freedom. They wouldn't wake up from her leaving or worry about her disappearing for hours because there was no "they". Just Cettie. And tumbling was the only thing that really stuck. She couldn't keep count of the different attempts made by older cats to wear her out or hold her attention long enough to sit still. Nothing stuck. But she did just stick her landing. Which had the almost queen grinning ear to ear. Almost every other time today she'd thrown too much power into her tricks. It was a good sign. And sticking a landing properly always made her feel good about her abilities. Grin still firmly on her face Cettie eased her weight onto her front paws - her balancing work would take enough focus and she'd burned off some energy so hopefully Cettie wouldn't get twitchy and restless and throw herself off. Again. |
