Hello Briar,
I feel terrible about what is happening to you with all the humans attempting to capture you. What is with the mayor turning you over to the police? Since, when is it a crime to explore and enjoy life The problem with humans is they are control freaks.
"Oh no, that cat should not be wandering around by himself," they claim.
Wandering is what cats do best. Well, at least free cats get to wander. I might not be free, but when I read about your adventures I feel alive.
Listen to me, humans, life is meant to be enjoyed.
Run, Briar, run!
