A little feline with fur as blue as the summer sky waddled into the daycare area, shortly after being dropped off. He was a kitten named Leo, and he was around the age of three. He had yellowish-hazel eyes, and said yellowish colour was also on the end of his tail and on the inside of his ears. He was already potty-trained, and wore navy blue shorts and a baby blue polo shirt. Underneath he was wearing regular undies, which in his case were briefs with a dinosaur print. He already wore them despite his age due to already having rounded off potty-training, barring a few accidents.
The daycare had many cubs ranging from infancy to four year old cubs, and Leo was one of the older ones. In the building were a couple tables used for lunch and arts & crafts, a few bins with toys, and a cupboard with quite a large amount of toddler books and supplies for arts and crafts. Adjacent to the main room were the bathrooms, with toilets, plastic potties, and a changing table with supplies, including but not limited to diapers and pull-up style diapers.
At the entrance of the main room stood a little arctic foxkit. At the age of seven, he wasn’t a student, but rather the daycare assistant, since his mum worked there. He wore a red shirt and blue shorts, as well as his signature pink scarf. One of his eyes had a green eye color, the other was blue. Despite being eight, he was still in diapers, due to being incontinent. Unlike the toddler’s disposable diapers, he wore a cloth one, one fastened with a safety pin.
“Hi Leo! How are you doing” Ethan excitedly greeted the cub, ruffling his headfur. The kitten shyly replied back, and gave the kit a hug. “Wanna play wif you!” Leo chirped. In reply, Ethan tried to pick the cub up, but clearly struggled due to not being much older and larger. In the few seconds Leo was in the air, he spotted something peeking out of the fox’s waistband, causing him to be confused. Was it a diaper? But Ethan was much older.
Eventually, Ethan put Leo down on the ground again. “Turns out I cannot carry you, sorry buddy.” He apologised. “Want me to read you a book instead? I just learned to read a new one.” The kit then offered the kitten. Leo nodded yes, and followed Ethan as he wagged his tail.
“B-but first…” The daycare assistant asked. “Do you want to try to use the potty?” Leo nodded. “Suwe,” He stated, and waddled behind Ethan. “Do yoo hafto go to da potty toos?” the kitten then asked. Ethan shook his head. “Nope, I’m in diapers,” He softly explained, as they entered the bathroom.
There were about four stalls with toilets low enough for the toddler’s to use them, as well a few stalls with normal sized toilets, most likely meant for the cubs going to after school care instead, There were also plastic potties for cubs just starting potty-training, anda changing table for the littlest cubs and those who have accidents still. Suspiciously, it was large enough for a seven year old to lay on it, especially one on the shorter side.
“You wear diapers?” Leo asked once he stopped looking around. “But why?” After a brief, toddler-suited explanation about incontinence, Leo understands slightly. “So you still wear diapers like a baby?” Ethan nodded, being unphased. “Well that’s cool.” The kitten added, taking the incontinent fox kit by surprise. “Cool you say? Surely it isn’t the worst, but I wouldn’t say cool.”
Leo giggled. “Well you dun hafto interrupt playtime with going potty?” He argued. Ethan thought about it. “Well, I still need to stop playing to get changed.” He stated as he helped Leo with his clothes, and then sat him on the toilet. The kitten soon started peeing. “Good job!” the kit praised, before explaining something to the kitten. “You do know the rules right?” Leo shook his head. “Nu-huh, what is it, Ethan?”
The little fox kit starts explaining. “Well each time you make it to the potty, you get a sticker. But if you have two wet accidents or a messy one, it’s back to pull-ups.” He explained. “And if you afterwards have another accident, it’s back to diapers.” Leo gave a little nod. “All right, Ethan,” Leo gives a nod, and after the fox helps him with his clothes and with washing his paws, they exit the bathroom. “Anyway, what do you want to do?”
“Wanna play with blocks!” Leo excitedly replied, and the fox kit agreed as he led the kitten to a bin filled with wooden blocks. Already playing near there were two twin badgers aged four. One was named Brody and was still in diapers while the other was named Brian, and was already potty trained. Unlike Leo, he didn’t even have accidents. “Hi Brian, hi Brody!” The sky-furred kitten greeted the two of them.
“Hi Leo! How are you doing?” Brody asked as the kitten then plopped down on the floor next to them. “I’m doing all right,” Leo replied. “May I play with you?” Brian quickly nodded yes. “Yup, of course little one,” He said, making Leo protest. “Am notta widdwe baby!” He babbled, to which Brian teased further.
“Well having accidents surely doesn’t make you a big cub,” He giggled, sticking his tongue out. “Though,” Brian continued. “At least you’re not as bad as my brother.” Brody overheard him and quickly protested. “Hey! I’m notta baby either!” His brother chuckled in reply, patting Brody’s diapered bottom. “Then what’s this then, mister diaper-butt?” Brian continued teasing his brother.
“Well a diaper, but that doesn’t mean I’m babyish… right?” Brody asked. This time even Leo giggled. “Well of course you are,” He said, sticking his tongue out as well. Brody huffed. “Well at least I don’t have to stop playing like Brian, or have my pants be wet!” Whilst Brian just started laughing at the argument, Leo quickly flustered,
“I already told you… I don’t pee myself,” Leo tried to defend himself. Brody wasn’t convinced. “Well if you say so. But even then, going in a diaper is just easier.” He said. “You think so?” Leo asked, to which Brian grumbled. “Don’t give the little baby more ideas!” Leo turned beet red at this point. “I’m notta baby!” He shouted, though he felt his bladder giving pangs again.
Brody noticed the slight squirming. And smirked. “You know, you could just go and get put in pull-ups,” He said, making Brian frown even more. “Why would I do that?” Leo asked, before noticing a suspiciously relaxed look on Brody’s face. Brian noticed it too, and helped his twin on his two little feet.
“Brody!” He then scolded. “What?” Brody innocently asked, causing Leo to giggle. “You’re obviously piddling!” The cat said, as he sniffed around. “You really need diapers huh?” the more babyish brown bear gave a nod, as his brother just hoped that Brody wouldn’t convince the ‘little baby’ to be even more babyish. “Come on, let’s get you changed,” he said, dragging his brother away before he could say another word.
But by now, Leo actually thought about what Brian said, and decided to continue playing. Sure enough, after a little while he started wetting himself, a puddle forming underneath him. Ethan noticed Leo’s accident and waddled towards him, before helping the kitten on his feet. “Did you have a little accident, Leo?” He asked.
Leo gave a slight nod, though not as embarrassed as the little kitten thought he would be. “That’s okay buddy, let’s get you changed.” The fox replied, and led Leo to the bathroom after asking for help with cleaning the puddle. Once inside, Leo climbed on the changing table, and started being changed. “Accidents happen, little one,΅ Ethan cood. “...But if you have another one, it’s back to pull-ups, just in case.”
The sky-blue kitten nodded, though he wondered if wearing pull-ups was actually so bad as it seemed. As Ethan got a spare set of clothes for Leo, the kitten sniffed around. He noticed the scent of urine, though it wasn't his. He gave the fox kit a knowing look, and giggled slightly.
“something funny?” Ethan asked, not really minding the teasing. Leo shook his head as the fox helped him get dressed. “I guess I could use a change,” The fox kit then admitted to the kitten, who nodded. “Anyway, you're ready, little buddy.”
Ethan helped Leo from the changing table, and the kitten gave him a hug. “Fank yoo, Ethan!” Leo smiled. Ethan replied by ruffling the kitten's head, and then led him outside the bathroom again. “Next time, do tell me when you have to go potty,” Ethan then requested, to which Leo agreed. “All right Ethan!”
In the play area, Ethan's mother, a red fox vixen referred to as Ms Francine who was the lead teacher, called the students for the arts & crafts assignment. “Leo, Ethan, join us,” She quickly said. Ethan gave a little nod, and took Leo’s paw. “Okay Ms, Fox!” Leo excitedly replied, as he sat down.
The arts & crafts assignment was a simple one, just making a paper boat. Ms Francine gave the cubs, and her curious son, the instructions, and soon they tried it themselves. Leo was the most excited, and managed to fold it rather quickly due to being exceptionally skilled. “Is dis okie, Ms Fwancine?” The teacher looked at the boat and nodded, ruffling Leo’s head. “That looks amazing, dear.”
“Thank you Ms,” Leo grinned, wagging his tail. “May I go pway now?” He asked. Ms Francine thought about it. “Sure, I guess that’s fine. Though, you could also try to make a drawing here,” She recommended. Leo agreed, and got a piece of paper before starting to draw. “Whacha makin?” Ethan asked, before noticing that the drawing resembled a fox. “Me?” He asked, to which Leo nodded.
Leo continued drawing until arts & crafts time ended, and then it was snack time. Every cub pulled out their lunch box, and in Leo’s case, it was fruit and strawberry yogurt. As he continued snacking, He noticed Brian again, except this time teasing one of the younger cubs. He was poking fun at a two year old panda cub for clearly needing a change. “Weave me awone!” The toddler, named Preston, whined, to which Brian giggled even more. “You really are a little baby.”
The little kitten watched the two for a while, before finally stepping in. “Hey! Weawe da panda awone!” Leo shouts. The little toddler waddled towards him, whilst Brian just snickered. “Are you really gonna defend this little baby? Have you got nothing better to do?” The sky blue kitten nodded, and asked Brian. “Why awe yoo bothering him?” The badger smirked. “Cause he deserves it for being a stoopid widddwe piddlepants.”
After a whole bunch of bickering, Ms Francine finally intervened. “All right, knock it off you three,” She stated. “What are you cubs arguing about?” Brian spoke first. “ I was just pwaying wif Preston, when da stoopid widdwe kitten intewwuped us,” He added, before Leo rebutted. “Dun caww me stoopid!” The kitten argued in reply. “Awnd I was onwy thtopping yoo fwom bullying Preston.”
Ms Francine managed to calm the older cubs down, before turning toward Preston. “Ms Fwancine, Bwian was being a meanie,” He mumbled. “Weo wath onwy twying to make him stop, awnd wath being nice to me” The teacher listened carefully at the explanation. “Is that true?” She then asked, turning towards the badger.
“Uhh…” Brian mumbled. “I was only twying to play with him,” He replied. “But he was being a piddlepants and a crybaby.” Ms Francine frowned, and took the badger’s paw. “That’s not how we talk about fellow students. You can apologise to Preston after time-out,” She said as she led the pouty Brian towards the corner. “Fank yoo!” The little panda then said and gave Leo a hug. The kitten purred at the hug, and ruffled the toddler’s head.
“Wanna pway togetha?” The kitten then asked. Preston looked surprised. “Yoo wanna pway wif me?” He shyly asked, to which Leo nodded. “Suwe, we cawn pway wif da twain set.” He added, which brought the little panda to cloud nine. As the two sat down and started playing with the train set, Leo started squirming again.
Preston noticed. “Yoo hafto go wee?” He mumbled. “Why dun yoo go in youw diapy? Leo chuckled. “I dun wear diapies wike yoo, but I guess I couwd go in my undies,” He added afterwards. Preston looked confused. “But den yoo’w be in diapie wike me.” He stated, to which the kitten giggled. “Wanna be in diapies!” The panda laughed adorably. “Okie den.”
But before the kitten could do anything, it was already time for the next activity, which was story time. Leo and Preston went to pick a seating spot as the cubs started sitting around the circular carpet. Ms Francine led her seemingly excited son. “Cubs, instead of me reading towards you, Ethan wants to give it a shot.”
The toddlers looked at the fox with curiosity, and Ethan soon started to read Dear Zoo. “Uhh, I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet. They sent me an…” The fox kit showed the picture. “Who can guess what it is?” A few students raised their paws, and Ethan chose a Ring-tailed Lemur named Leslie. “Awn Elephant!”
“That’s correct,” Ethan praised, and continued reading. “He was too big! I sent him back.” As the fox read the book, Leo started getting distracted, and started chatting with the cub next to him, a possum girl named Phoenix, who was around twenty months. “Wike da book?” the possum asked in a whisper.
Leo shook his head. “Nu-huh, tis boring,” He said. “Weawwy?” Phoenix asked, before giggling. “Yoo fink tho too?” The kitten nodded. “Wanna pway I spy?” He whispered. The possum nodded. “I thpy… um’fing blue,” It didn’t take long for Leo to realise what she meant. “My fur?” He asked, and Phoenix nodded yes with a giggle.
The two continued playing I spy in their hushed voices until storytime was over, and then it was time to go try to the bathroom. As Ms. Francine led the cubs in potty training towards the bathroom, Leo was surprised to see Phoenix waddling next to him. “Yoo awe alweady potty-twained?” The kitten asked. “But yoo’w stiww a baby.”
Phoenix nodded with a slight giggle. “Thurpwising, wight,” She replied. “But am in undies alweady.” Leo was even more surprised at this point. “I wathn’t in undies untiw a few I was awmost three,” He mumbled. “Yoo weawwy awe a big cub.” Brian giggled in reply. “He thiww is widdwe, yoo’we just too big of a baby," He teased the kitten, who stuck his tongue out in reply.
Soon, the cubs were in the bathroom, and Leo, Phoenix, Brian and a few other cubs went to try. Despite wanting to end up in diapers, Leo used the bathroom like instructed. “Good job dear,” Ms Francine said once he was done, and helped him wipe and wash his paws. “Fank yoo, Ms Fwanthine, " the kitten replied.
Phoenix managed to successfully poop, whilst Brian didn’t go at all. Once helping all the cubs wipe and wash their paws, Francine led them towards the new activity, which was free time outside. “Pway wif yoo?” Phoenix asked Leo, who agreed. “Suwe, whatcha wanna pway?” He asked in reply.
“Maybe in da thandbox?” Phoenix proposed. Leo agreed. “Okie, thouwnds fun,” He said. Leo led his new little friend towards the sandbox, and they started building. “So Phoenix, wha do yoo wike to doos?” He asked. Phoenix thought about it. “Dwess-up, awnd pwaying wif caws,” She said in reply.
“Wha ‘bout yoo?” Phoenix then asked. “Uhh, I wike to dance,” Leo replied. “Awnd I wike to dwaws too.” The possum was impressed. “Theems fun,” She said, before continuing to build. Eventually, their sand castle was done. “Wooks good,” Phoenix said, and gave Leo a hug, making the kitten wag his tail. “Yoo’we nice.”
The two then continued playing in the sandbox for a while, but soon moved to the sidewalk chalk once they were starting to get bored. “Whacha dwawing?” Leo asked the possum, who started thinking. “Twain!” She then replied. The kitten liked that answer. “Souwnds coow, I’m making a caw!” He then replied.
Not long after they started, another toddler started waddling towards them. He was a golden retriever. “Hi David! Wanna pway wif uth?” Leo asked. The puppy nodded, and sat down next to Phoenix. “Having fun, sissy?” He asked, to which the possum nodded. Leo was confused. “Yoo two awe siblings?”
“Uhhhuh,” David nodded. “Awnd Ethan isj ouw cousin,” He added. Leo was confused. “Buth yoo’we a puppy, Phoenix isj a wodent awnd Ethan isj a fox,” He listed, to which Phoenix protested. “Imma possum!” The kitten looked apologetic. “Oh thowwy,” He mumbled in reply. “Well, stiww diff’went species.”
David was confused, and decided to get Ethan. “Couthin?” He mumbled, tugging the sleeve of the fox’s shirt. “Yes David?” Ethan asked, as he attempted to pick him up. “What did you wanna say?” The puppy snuggled against Ethan. “Weo dun fink tha we awe wewated!” He explained. Ethan smiled knowingly, and went towards the kitten.
“Well Leo, David and Feenie were both adopted,” The fox cub explained. “That’s how they’re siblings,” he added. “Ohhh…” Leo replied. “Bu wha did yoo fink when yoow couthins wewe adopted?” Ethan looked surprised by the question, and David answered before he could. “Ethan was adawpted watah den me!”
Leo was now even more confused. “But you’we a fox, awnd tho is Ms Fwanthine,” He pointed out. “Different species of foxes,” Ethan gently replied after some thinking. “I’m an arctic fox with white fur, and mommy and daddy are red foxes with… orange fur?” The fox sounded confused at that last bit. David giggled. “Auntie's fur ith wed, thiwwy!”
As both Ethan and David thought more about it, Phoenix decided to waddle towards the arctic fox kit as well. “Kitty!” She shouted, as Ethan set David down again, and picked his youngest cousin up this time. Leo shook his head. “Nu-huh, Ethan isj a Foxie!” He explained. Ethan blushed. “Actually… She's right. At least I think she is.” Leo was now fully confused. “Now how ith tha possibwe?” .
Ethan didn't know how to answer that, and went towards Francine after setting Phoenix down. “Uhh… mommy?” He asked, before being picked up himself. “Yes sweetie?” She asked in reply, stroking his fur tenderly. Ethan nuzzled against her while answering. “Am I partly a cat?” Francine nodded, smiling knowingly. “Yes you are, dear, you're half cat and half fox.”
To explain further, she held his paw. “See this?” Francine pointed out that the cub's claws were retracted. Leo noticed that too. “Yoow paws wook wike mine!” He called, wagging his tail slightly. Francine nodded. “That's true, and only felines have retractable claws,” She then booped Ethan’s snout. Your nose is also different, but that only makes you cuter,” Francine added, making Ethan giggle.
“Thanks mommy!” The cub said, giving Francine a nuzzle. “You’re welcome!” She replied, giving the cub a nuzzle and setting him on the ground again. “How about you cubs carry on playing inside? Lunchtime will be in a bit.” The cubs agreed, and followed Francine once she led all the other children inside as well. “What do you wanna do now, Leo?” Ethan then asked.
The kitten thought about it. “Wanna pway dwess-up!” He replied, wagging his tail already. “Thouwds Fun!” David said at the idea. Ethan led the cubs towards a chest, filled with a whole lot of costumes. “Any you seem to like?” The fox asked the kitten. Leo thought about it. “Uhh… da dwagon!”
“All right then,” Ethan agreed, and quickly got the dragon costume, which consisted of the head and the wings, which would be worn like a backpack. “Do you want a little help?” Leo gave a little nod, and the fox cub placed the head on the little kitten before ushering him towards a mirror. “What do you think?” Ethan then asked, to which the kitten grinned. “Gweat! Thank yoo!”
Ethan started helping his cousins, with David eventually ending up wearing a knight costume, while Phoenix just ended up wearing a mask due to it being easier for the littler cub. “Fank yoo!” Both cubs said once Ethan led them to the mirror too. Leo smiled at them, before turning towards Ethan. “Wha awe yoo gonna weaw?” He asked. The little fox thought about it. “Not sure if there’s something that’ll fit me,” He reasoned, since there were only toddler costumes, but he decided to look for something anyway.
After some searching, he settled on wearing a crown. “Whacha think?” He asked. Leo and David chuckled in reply, while Phoenix cooed and tried to reach for it, making Ethan laugh. “All right then, you can have it,” The fox agreed, and placed the crown on Phoenix’s head. “Now, what do you want us to do?” He then asked. Phoenix thought about the question, before answering. “Funny fatheth!” David and Ethan quickly obeyed, and soon Leo did too. Phoenix then afterwards handed the crown to Leo, who was now allowed to make the decision. “Well… Thawt danthing!” The kitten ordered, and the others quickly did as instructed, dancing as sillily as they could.
The cubs then took a couple more turns, before Francine told all the students that it was Lunchtime, but first the cubs had to use the bathroom. In the restroom, the cubs who needed another diaper change were swiftly changed, which included Ethan. At the same time the potty-training or potty-trained tried to use the bathroom, taking turns. David and Phoenix managed to go, but Leo, who went last, didn't have to. “Well, maybe later you’ll have more luck.” Ethan reasoned as he helped the kitten with his clothes.
The weather was nice, so Francine figured that Lunchtime could be outside today. That could also mean that the cubs who were done could play while the slower cubs finished. Leo went to sit next to another cub, who had just been dropped off. Her name was Winter, and she was a wolf cub around the age of four. “Hiya Leo!” She greeted him with a nuzzle once he sat down.
Leo giggled and swished his tail. “Hewwo Winter,” He cheerfully replied. Winter looked confused. “Since when do you talk like tha?” She wondered as she started eating her sandwich. Leo also wondered about it. “Gueth I haf been pwaying wif many widdwew cubs.” He eventually reasoned, making Winter chuckle. “Silly.” Leo just agreed, and continued eating. As the two ate, they started chatting about other things. “Tho… wha do yoo wike to do?” Winter curiously asked, to which Leo didn’t have to think long about. “Danthing!” The wolf chuckled in reply, and when Leo asked her what she liked, she responded with paw painting.
Soon the two were done with lunch, and decided to play in the sandbox. Just like before, the sky-furred kitten was joined by Brian and Brody. “Hiya little baby!’ Brian teased as he started building another sandcastle. “Be nice,” Brody told his brother, before turning towards Leo. “Did you manage to get back into diapers?” He asked, making the kitten blush and shake his head.
Winter looked confused. “Whacha mean ‘go back to diapies’?” She wondered. Leo started stammering a bit. “Jutht… goin back to diapies… Bwody thaid dey wewe nithew…” The wolf looked at the kitten, and then at the diapered badger. “Are you sure he didn’t just say that just to make himself feel better?” She asked, whilst giggling teasingly, which in turn made Brody blush. “Nawt true!” Brody protested, while Leo pondered about it. “I dunno… bu I gueth diapies do theem nithe.”
“Well that’s silly,” Winter laughed, before stopping when she realising that Leo really wasn’t kidding. “Well… how do you wanna get back into diapers?” She wondered. The kitten thought about it too, before quickly remembering what Ethan said before. “Oh I know! I jutht need to haf one accident, awnd den I cawn go into puww-upth!” He said.
Brian laughed and wheezed at the explanation, whilst Winter and Brody looked intrigued. “Are you sure that will work?” Winter asked, doubting the plan for reasons she didn’t know. “Uhh… I fink tho,” Leo said. “It will, don’t worry,” Brody replied. “But… will you go on purpose or wait till you have an accident?” The badger then wondered. “Mmm…” The kitten had to think about that. “Nawt suwe actuawwy.”
But Leo didn’t have long to ponder about it, as he just started to pee a little into his undies. He hadn’t realised that he had to go since he just tried to use the bathroom before lunchtime. He managed to stop, but not without squirming a little, which Brian noticed. “Are you gonna piddle already?” He wondered, snickering a little. “Uhh… n-no.” the kitten quickly stammered, before correcting himself. “W-well m-maybe?”
The older badger quickly started laughing more. “Really? That was quick!” He stated, making Leo blush more, which was obvious underneath his blue fur. Winter couldn’t help but chuckle too, but Brody was concerned about something. “If you’re gonna pee yourself, don’t do it in the sandbox,” He reasoned. “Otherwise the sand will get wet.” Leo saw the logic, and agreed to step out of the sandbox. “Okie den.”
It did not take long after exiting the sandbox for Leo’s bladder to give in, whether he wanted it or not at this point. He started to flood not just his undies, but also his shorts, both of which he got just new. He let out a slight sigh of relief as he did so, and started wagging his tail.
Soon Leo finished peeing, and chuckled slightly. “Now I’ww definitewy go back to diapies.” Brian snickered loudly, while Winter tried to stifle a laugh. “I’ll go get Ms Francine,” Brody stated, before toddling away. Once he returned with the daycare teacher, he went right back towards playing in the sandbox, giggling and shaking his head at everything.
“Oh Leo, did you have another accident?" Francine asked the kitten, ruffling his head as she crouched to his level. Leo blushed in reply, but otherwise didn’t look too remorseful. “I’m sorry Ms Francine.” The fox could see through the cub’s fib, but decided not to address it just yet. “It’s all right dear, let’s get you changed.”
After leaving an actual daycare assistant in charge instead of Ethan, Francine went inside with Leo. They reached the bathroom, and Francine picked the kitten up before laying him on the changing table. “You’ve been having more accidents than usual today, sweetie,” Francine then said. “Are you feeling all right, dear?”
Leo blushed in reply as Francine started helping him out of his wet clothes, unsure if he should tell the truth or lie. “I dunno, Ms Fwancine,” He squeaked. Francine ruffled the kitten’s head fur, before trying to assure him it’s all right. “Don’t worry dear, I’m not mad,” She told him. “You’re gonna have to wear pull-ups, but that’s not a punishment, it’s just for today in case you have more accidents.”
The little kitten tried to keep his worried expression, or even look saddened, but instead he let out a soft, excited squeak, and swished his tail a little. Francine noticed, and got a suspicion. “Leo dear?” She asked. “Do you… do you wanna wear pull-ups?” Leo quickly blushed in reply, and tried to fib. “N-no of couwse nawt, Ms Fwancine,” He said, before pouting.
Francine smiled ever so slightly, a little amused, before continuing with the change. “It's alright dear, I was just asking.” She said, before adding. “But if you did want to wear them… then it's not such a big deal, y'know. I could just put you in those for now, and tell your parents about it.”
Leo’s ears perked up a little, due to his surprise. “You mean…” he started, turning red as he continued talking. “It’s nawt weird?” Francine smiled more in reply, before shaking her head. “I guess not. But why do you want to wear them?” She then curiously asked, while she lifted Leo’s bum in order to gingerly wipe him.
Leo thought about it. “I dunno, I gueth dey awe jutht betta?” He mumbled in reply, before adding. “I gueth dey feew comfiew, awnd I dun hafto stawp pwaying.” Francine carefully listened, before replying. “All right then, that’s fair. You’re still little,” She said, before helping Leo into his pull-up. “I’ll talk to your parents about it, then, alright?” Leo nodded in reply. “Okie mith Fwanthine!” Francine smiled at that, and helped Leo off the changing table.
After cleaning up the bathroom area and washing her paws, she led Leo back outside, towards the playing area where the cubs were now. Leo decided to start drawing again, this time deciding to make a drawing of a sunset. After a short while, he felt someone poke him. He turned around, and saw the puppy from earlier. “David!” He excitedly said, wagging his tail a little.
David noticed the kitten’s excitement, and gave him a hug. “Hiya Weo!” He greeted him, though noticed some crinkling, causing him to realise that the cub was padded now. Leo hugged the golden retriever back, before giving him a nuzzle too. “Hiya Davith!” He greeted back, smiling a little. “How awe yoo?” David let go of the hug, before replying. “Am doing okie. Bu hafto go thoown,” He then mumbled, a little saddened.
Leo’s ears drooped, before giving David another hug. “Aw okie den. I’ww mith yoo, he mumbled, before nuzzling the puppy. David giggled in reply, reciprocating the nuzzle. “I’ww mith yoo toos, Weo!” He said, remaining in the hug for a few moments before letting go and heading off. “Thee yoo tomowwow hopefuwwy! Awnd I hope yoo haf wess accidents den!”
Leo blushed at that last bit, though still swished his tail a little. David’s words went through his head: ‘...and I hope you have less accidents then.’ The kitten recalled. He thought about it more, wondering if he was being silly by having had ‘accidents’ on purpose. He thoughtfully wagged his tail, which is when he heard a sound that caused him to make his mind. Hearing the crinkling from his pull-up made him realise just how much he liked them, and he really hoped that when his mom would pick him up later, that he would be allowed to keep wearing them. But until then, while playing with the other cubs, he would make no effort to try to use the bathroom.
