M.A./Cat/claw at him
From Create Your Own Story
You growl and lash out with a claw, raking across his muzzle. He yelps and quickly retreats to his corner, eyeing you defeatedly as he hugs his legs to his chest.
M.A./Cat/Now you get out. He seems to have learned his lesson.
M.A./Cat/Now you communicate. You doubted he would have understood you ither way.
