Cat and Canary
by Honey Moon

Carrie Byrd looked at her orders, with a sinking heart. When she applied to the 
Academy, she had specifically requested planet bound duty. Now that she 
graduated, specializing in communications, the powers that be saw fit to post 
her on one of the new Pegasus class, long-range scout ships. Worse yet, she had 
only two hours before the shuttle lifted! Carrie did the only thing she could do 
in the situation. She grabbed all her uniform jump suits, her music, and 
literature files, and a couple very personal belongings, and hastily packed them 
into her duffle.

"Shipping out sale!" she bellowed, as she threw open her dormitory door. The 
response was instant! Her classmates, and friends, for the last two years, 
swarmed in to see what they could get their hands on.

"Hey Canary, I thought you wanted a base posting." Millina Fray, her closest 
friend asked her, as the excited crowd fought over her old junk.

Carrie shrugged her shoulders. "So did I. Apparently somebody up there thinks 
they know better!" Carrie didn't even fight her nickname anymore. In boot camp, 
the drill instructor naturally took C. Byrd, as Canary Bird, and that's what 
Carrie had been known as, ever since. Carrie and Millina hugged tightly. "I'll 
miss you, Mill. Every chance I get, I'll send you a file, ok?"

"You better, Birdie! You just behave yourself with your partner, you hear? 
What's he like, is he cute? Are you planning any personal explorations?"

Carrie blushed. She still didn't feel comfortable discussing such personal 
matters, even after she and Mill had drifted past friendship, into a loving and 
sexual relationship. Millina was from McCaffrey, one of the newer, more 
open-minded colony worlds, and she just loved teasing her Earthling friend. "I 
don't know. The orders were just cut this morning, and they don't say."

Millina patted her back. "Well, I'm hoping for you kiddo. You be sure and tell 
me everything that happens, you hear me?" Carrie promised she would, and was on 
her way, after one last kiss. Millina would see to the sale of her junk, and 
credit it all to her account. All Carrie had to worry about was her new 
exploration partner. She strapped herself into the commercial shuttle, and 
managed to grab a quick nap, in the 40 minutes of freefall before docking at 
Aurora Station.

When Carrie presented herself to the Station Master, requesting directions for 
the scout ship Fairview's birth, she didn't understand his sudden laughter.

"You did say communications officer Byrd, didn't you?" he said with a last 
chuckle.

In her confusion, she made matters worse. "Yes sir! Canary Byrd, I mean Carrie."

If it weren't for the reduced gravity, he would have fallen from his chair. 
"Canary Bird! That's priceless!" he wiped his eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I 
couldn't help it. Just wait until you meet your pilot, flight control officer 
Cat!"

Carrie couldn't help grinning. "Cat and Byrd, what a pair!"

"Well little Bird, you best fly now, can't keep your partner waiting!"

Carrie thanked him, and was on her way. As she approached her new home for the 
next year, she saw a few Techs making final checks, but no sign of her partner. 
She boarded the Fairview, and headed for the control cabin. "Hello Cat? I'm 
sorry; I don't know your full name. Are you on board?" She nearly jumped out of 
her uniform, when someone soundlessly came up behind her.

"Actually, Cat will do nicely," a low whisper sounded in her ear. "Few humans 
can pronounce my true name."

Carrie spun around, and stood eye to eye with a panther! At least that's what it 
looked like. "You startled me!" she gasped, as she tried to calm her heart.

"I do apologize, Carrie Byrd," Cat whispered as a huge grin split her darkly 
furred face. "You humans are so easy to sneak up on!"

Carrie looked over her new partner. It really was amazing how much she resembled 
an Earthly panther. The only real differences were the size of the skull, the 
opposable thumbs, and the four prominent breasts, under the sleek black fur of 
her chest. Carrie felt herself blushing, when she noticed the pink nipples 
peeking out of that glossy pelt. "Um, that's ok. Just don't make it a habit, 
ok?"

Cat dropped down to all fours, and padded silently through the ship. "We really 
are lucky. Fairview was just commissioned." Carrie was almost mesmerized, 
watching the powerful muscles roll beneath Cat's shining fur. Cat paused, and 
keyed open a cabin door, with the tip of her long tail. "This can be your 
place."

"That's great!" Carrie entered the compact unit, and stashed her duffle on the 
bunk. "This is much bigger then my Academy dorm!" Cat rose to her hind legs, and 
watched amused as Carrie checked out the amenities of the cabin. Crossing her 
fingers for luck, the human turned to the catering computer. "Coffee, black." 
With a yelp of delight, she snatched the steaming mug, and inhaled deeply of the 
rising steam. "Thank goodness! I was worried they didn't have my preferences 
programmed in yet!"

Cat purred deep in her throat. A sound Carrie recognized as a giggle.

"You humans and your caffeine!" She padded over to the unit, and hissed quietly 
at it. Carrie nearly dropped her mug, when Cat picked up a large crystal goblet, 
and began to lap at what appeared to be fresh blood! Cat looked at her, droplets 
of crimson fluid clinging to her muzzle. Carrie was startled farther to see the 
thin, snake like forked tongue flash out, and clear away the dampness. "I am 
sorry, Carrie. I know some humans are bothered by this, but it is best to 
discover such things early, I think."

Carrie recovered fast. "That's quite alright. I'm no vegetarian." she found she 
was beginning to like Cat's openness. "I think everything is going work out!" 
Carrie was right. It was a little disturbing, at first, to watch Cat consume raw 
meat with such delight, but the human soon adjusted. Besides, Cat couldn't 
understand why humans would ruin perfectly good flesh, by broiling the life 
force out of it!

Late, by ship's time, Carrie snapped on the lights in her cabin. She heard that 
sound again. She pressed her ear to the bulkhead, trying to figure out what it 
was. After weeks of FTL flight, she knew every sound that the Fairview made in 
it's normal functioning. This late night sound was driving her insane! She asked 
Cat about it, thinking her keen hearing would surely pinpoint it, but the feline 
told her she was too deep a sleeper to have heard it. That sound had 
mysteriously vanished after that. Cat refused to talk about it, in fact, the 
feline was starting to get rather snippy the last couple of days. Tonight was 
the first time in almost a week Carrie heard the strange rhythmic hum. "I have 
to track that down, or I'll never get to sleep!" Looking over all her 
exploration gear, she chose the tool best for the job. Slowly she walked through 
the ship, pausing from time to time, to hold a drinking glass to the bulkhead, 
tracing the sound to it's source. At the entrance to Cat's cabin, she heard her 
partner cry out, as the sound suddenly increased in tempo. Carrie slapped the 
key, and dropped her glass, when she saw what was happening inside.

"Close that!" Cat roared.

"I'm so sorry!" Carrie stammered as the door slid shut again. The human couldn't 
get the sight out of her mind. Cat, on all fours, was thrusting herself madly at 
a machine strapped to the side of her bunk. The device's single large shining 
piston was pumping into her, accompanied by that odd rhythmic humming! The 
feline was whipping her tail from side to side, her large yellow eyes burning 
with her rising passion! Carrie made her way to the control deck, and slumped 
into her crash couch. She still couldn't believe what she saw!

In a few moments, Cat padded in, tail limp, almost dragging on the deck. 
"Carrie, I am shamed." She blinked her large eyes, and Carrie was shocked to see 
they were full of tears. "No human has ever seen that behavior before. My 
people, when separated for long periods of time, sometimes have to please 
themselves, to maintain mental and physical health."

"Cat, have you ever had any human friends before?" Carrie asked kindly.

The feline looked puzzled. "No Carrie. I knew humans from my training, but you 
are, were my first friend."

Cat's normally quiet voice was nearly a whisper, and Carrie's heart went out to 
her. Her own shyness over such matters melted away. She just had to reassure her 
friend. "Wait here a moment, will you? I have something to show you." Carrie 
hurried to her cabin, removed her jumpsuit, and pulled an old friend from under 
her bunk. When she returned Cat looked startled. "It's ok Cat, I have to teach 
you something about humans."

The feline's yellow eyes looked her all over. "I have never seen a human 
uncovered before, Carrie." Those yellow eyes seemed to lock between Carries 
legs, making her feel a little tingly all over. "You have fur!"

Carrie giggled, looking at her dark pubic hair. "Well, we don't call it that, 
but I guess we do have some." She took her hand from behind her back, and let 
Cat see the long tapered crystal she held. "I think you may know what this is, 
Cat."

Cat's jaw actually dropped open. "Is, is that a male simulator?"

Carrie blushed, but couldn't help grinning. "We call them dildo's, or vibrators, 
but that's what they are. If a human is away from her kind, she may go crazy, if 
she doesn't take things in hand, as it were." Carrie didn't know what made her, 
but she reclined on her crash couch, and put her left leg up on the armrest. 
"This is Maxwell. I guess you can say we've been lovers for years." She touched 
the stud at the base, and the transparent crystal began to vibrate gently in her 
hand. "Would you like to touch it, Cat?"

The feline looked confused, eyes darting from the toy, to the growing dampness 
between her partner's legs, and tentatively reached out a finger to the shiny 
device. "It's warm, and it tingles!" she exclaimed. "I, I understand the warmth, 
mine heats to blood temperature. Why does it buzz so?"

"You tell me." Carrie said quietly, as she touched the tip, to one of Cat's 
nipples. The feline closed her eyes and purred. "Feels good, doesn't it?"

"Yes, it makes me grow ready to..." Cat snapped her mouth shut with a click of 
her sharp teeth.

"It's ok, Cat. I get very wet when I do that to myself."

Cat struggled with herself, then finally sighed. "The tingle in my breasts is 
making my body lubricate itself, I never felt anything like it!"

"Would you like to see me use this on myself? Maxwell is very talented. The 
built in energy field keeps him sterile, and nice and slippery." Carrie watched 
Cat's eyes, as she spread herself, and let the tip of the crystal enter her. 
"Um, b-best of all, his sensors can tell how aroused I am, and, and the 
vibrations, they increase to match!" Carrie moaned, as she slipped the warm toy 
in and out of herself. Somehow, it was so much more exciting, having her feline 
partner watch.

Cat could hear the steady increase of the device's vibrations, as Carrie's hand 
steadily moved it in and out of the human's life giving orifice. Carrie was 
rocking her head from side to side, moaning, as she worked the device faster. 
Cat twitched her sensitive nose. She inched her head closer to Carrie, and 
sniffed. The human smelled so good! "Carrie" she whispered. She didn't say 
another word, as she threw caution to the wind. Her long, forked tongue flicked 
out, and sampled the dampness growing between Carries legs.

"Oh Cat!" Carrie gasped at the contact. "That's nice!" as the thin tongue 
slipped up into her, up along side the vibrator, Carrie felt her release 
approaching. "Oh yes, that's so good!" she managed to say, as her body started 
it's joyful spasms.

When her partner finally stilled her body, Cat felt very embarrassed. "I 
apologize, Carrie. I overstepped myself, I treated you as a sister, do you 
forgive me?"

"You, you treat your sister like that?" Carrie asked in amazement.

"Yes, what do you do, if your sister doesn't have a mate, yet needs more then a 
simulator? It is a sacred duty."

Carrie made up her mind. "I would gladly help you, if you were my sister, Cat!" 
she got out of her crash couch, and sank to her knees, next to the panting 
feline. "Do you need my help now, my sister?" Cat nodded, in the human fashion, 
and Carrie hugged her partner tight. She buried her face in the warm soft fur of 
Cat's neck. Carrie never noticed her partner's almost spicy scent. She inhaled 
deeply. The feline's natural musk would bring in big credits, as a perfume! "Lay 
back Cat, I want you to feel as good as I did." Carrie gently kissed her 
partner's muzzle. Growing ever bolder, she slipped her tongue into Cat's mouth, 
and thrilled as she felt the razor sharp teeth. Cat's people weren't exactly 
built for kissing, but the feline was doing very well indeed! Cat was purring 
non-stop now, and when her tongue entered Carrie's mouth, and she was amazed at 
how far it reached into her throat! The human moved down her lover's body, 
teasing in turn, the four swelling nipples, as they peeked from the rich shining 
fur.

Carrie was surprised again, as a thick sweet fluid began to seep into her eager 
mouth. She suckled for a moment, at her friend's heaving breasts, feeling, more 
then hearing, the deep rumble of her partner's contented purring. With a final 
swallow, Carrie moved lower. She noticed for the first time that Cat's fur was 
much thinner in her pubic region. She parted the damp fur, and carefully touched 
her tongue to the darkly glistening lips. Cat jumped, and then settled back 
down, as Carrie explored. Carrie and Millina had pleased each other before, so 
Carrie was in a unique position to compare relative anatomy. She tried to find a 
clit, but found nothing similar. She gave up her search, and just slipped her 
tongue into Cat, tasting her musk. It was different from a human, but not bad at 
all! Carrie lapped happily, as Cat shuddered under her. Suddenly, a ring of 
muscle gripped her probing tongue, just as Cat let out a roar. Carrie forced 
down her momentary panic from the fierce sound. Her partner was only letting go 
to her orgasm! Wiggling her tongue in the tight damp opening, was driving Cat 
insane. Carrie was almost jealous! It would seem that the entire lining of Cat's 
vaginal tunnel was packed with nerve endings, corresponding to the human 
clitoris!

"Oh Carrie, my sister, that was lovely!" Cat finally purred, when she released 
Carrie's tongue. The feline turned, and carefully licked her partner's shining 
face clean. "I, I think I'm beginning to love you, Carrie Byrd."

Carrie smiled at her partner. "I think I'm in love with you too, Cat." The human 
giggled. "You can call me Canary, if you like."

Cat seemed puzzled. "Canary Byrd. Some how, that sounds pleasing to me."

Carrie laughed out loud, as she pushed her partner's head down between her legs. 
"You're about to become the Cat that ate the Canary!" Cat didn't get the joke, 
but that was ok. Canary had lots of time to explain.
