Maplekit opened her eyes and blinked up at the roof. Slivers of sunlight illuminated her dark ginger fur, slicing across her tabby stripes as she ventured away from the warmth of her mother's ginger tabby side. She inhaled deeply, filling her small lungs with crisp morning air. Pale grey eyes, rimmed with long, dark eyelashes, flickered with curiosity as they examined the vicinity. There was nothing extraordinary about the scene, but for the inexperienced kitten, everything about her environment excited her. It was Maplekit's first day with her eyes open, and the small female fully intended to enjoy this day like no other.
Maplekit blinked, once, twice, three times, in rapid succession, as bright rays of sunlight bombarded her vision, and her newly opened eyes caught a glimpse of movement, and the kitten whipped around to face the source of the distraction. 
"Hellooooo!" the kitten would chirp in happy greeting - a new friend, come to play with her! "I'm Maplekit - who're you?"
