The lack of light makes you take an extra second to identify the features of a pink cat, one of your Cattiva pals. It still appears to be sleepy, as its usual "confident" expression is not there from what you can see, but even then, from your perspective it appears more threatening than ever, looming over you like that and with its shadow covering a large part of the feed box you could easily live on at this size.


"Down here!" you shout but your cry of help is easily drowned by the creature as it started to yawn, showing a familiar couple of fangs that you've seen whenever its attacking or tired of working. 


"Hey! oh wait-" You wait for Cattiva to stop yawning and try again, but unfortunately for you the pal just doesn't give you a chance to be heard. Cattiva's paw starts approaching the feed box to grab one of the baked berries close to you, making a little content noise and keeping its eyes closed. You dash to a side right on time, and taking a look up again decide your best course of action is to stay away from those berries for now because, even if its the middle of the night, your pal seems to be in a trance of bliss enjoying its meal, not bothering to see or hear anything  happening near. You take safe cover behind an apple as you see the giant paw grabbing another of those berries.


"Come on, just finish already" you think to yourself unimpressed by how long this is taking, but Cattiva seems to be taking its sweet time eating, almost if it didn't have dinner. Was it one of those days it decided to sleep in the middle of the day instead of fulfilling its tasks at the base? You groaned internally, of all the pals that could have approached the feed box it had to be the lazy one, but finally it stops.


Cattiva makes a strange startled noise and you take it as the cue to try again, but looking up you see Cattiva is no longer looking at the box, it's looking at something on its paw, something you cannot see from your position but it seems small and round. What is that? You remember it doesn't really matter.


"Cattiva, look dow- whoa!" you shouted again but Cattiva suddenly moved harshly to one side of the feed box, stumbling lightly against it but with enough force to make the food shake a bit and make you fall on your butt in the process. You had to dash again to the side to avoid the apple you used for cover as it rolled straight to you, and heard another noise close from Cattiva along with something falling on the box.


"Ugh, now what?.. wait, that's a berry" you noticed what Cattiva dropped and understood what was going on, kind of. It was one of the berries that you were snacking on while waiting, Cattiva probably noticed it with its paw and.. got scared? disgusted? It was just a berry!


But another slight familiar noise from behind you made you revisit your theory. It wasn't scared, it was curious, searching for a bug or for something. Now it was the time!


"Cattiva, in the box" you shouted as loud as you could, standing close to the berry it dropped confident that it would pick it up soon even if it didn't hear you anyway


What happens next?
