The Stray Cat: Ch. 14
I pulled open the door to The Doghouse and scanned the room. The tavern was about one-third full. It was well after dinner but not quite time for drunken reveling this Saturday night. The orange fox behind the counter smiled at me as I stepped inside....

The Stray Cat, Ch. 9

TftTB: The Little Things
Alex held open the door of the bar for the smaller gray wolf and the hyena walking out together before he entered. He scanned the bar carefully. No sign of Darryn. Typical. The muscular black wolf seated himself down at the bar. Favian, the orange-red...
