NOTE FROM AUTHOR: Kaiser and Minori are characters from a book called Homestead Hearts i’m working on. Minori is a maine coon and Kaiser is a german shepard!They’re in loveee :3

Kaiser and Minori padded side by side in the ditch, occasionally brushing against eachother. The morning dew painted their paws wet, the sun just peaking out from the horizon, casting long shadows across the countryside. The sky was colored pinks, purples and blues, setting a serene atmosphere and tone to their morning walk.

“Kaiser,” Minori paused, shifting slightly to gaze up at the german shepard before her whom she called her mate.

“Yes, my darlin’ Riri?” He stopped as well, his tail wagging as he looked down at the fluffy maine coon through loving, amber eyes.

“Catch me if you can.”

Before Kaiser could respond, Minori was already gone, running up the ditch onto the side of the road. He stood frozen for a moment before snapping out of his daze, grinning stupidly before bounding after her.

It wasn’t long before he had caught up with her, but she was unmoving. “Riri?” He padded behind where she stood. She was standing in front of a cardboard box, weathered down and falling apart.

Curiosity overtook brain and he stepped closer, peering over the edge only to see four kittens at the bottom, huddled close to eachother for warmth. Their distinct features and size pointed out the obvious: they were maine-coon kittens, the same breed as Minori.

“Kaiser.. look at them, poor things.” Minori cooed softly. Minori didn’t show empathy, only confidence, sassiness and indifference, which is why Kaiser was so drawn to her, so this was a surprise.

“I know.. I see them.” Kaiser said quietly, his tail movements pausing. This could be a great opportunity since Minori and himself couldn’t reproduce.. maybe they could take care of these kits?
