As the sun began its descent from the zenith, casting a warm, golden hue over Black Label Cattery's outdoor arena, Jay Azuli stood at the reins of Mwana, a stunning pitch-black classic shedu with a magnificent koimanu mane. The cat's dark coat seemed to absorb the fading sunlight, giving him an air of regal elegance.
Mwana wore a sleek dark blue harness that accentuated his ebony fur, the craftsmanship evident in every buckle and strap. She stood tall and proud, his fluffy mane flowing in the gentle evening breeze. Jay, adorned with makeup in the colors of the gender fluid flag around his eyes, matched Mwana's striking appearance.
The crowd had gathered to witness the driving competition, the arena buzzing with anticipation. This was another first for Jay, a new challenge in the world of shedu handling. They were about to perform a dressage test under harness, a choreographed routine that required precision and harmony between cat and driver.
Jay felt a mixture of nerves and excitement as they took their place on the arena floor. The sun, now lower in the sky, bathed them in a warm, flattering light. He took a moment to exchange a reassuring look with Mwana, their silent communication a testament to the trust they had developed.
The music began, the lively notes of "Hot Wings" from Rio filling the arena. With a gentle nudge of the reins, Jay signaled Mwana to start their choreographed performance. The shedu moved with grace and fluidity, his steps synchronized to the rhythm of the music.
They began with a graceful extended trot, Mwana's powerful legs covering the ground with ease. Jay's posture was impeccable as he guided his cat through a series of elegant circles and figure-eights. The audience watched in rapt attention as they seamlessly transitioned into a collected canter, their movements mirroring the rhythm of the music.
As the music shifted to a more upbeat tempo, Jay and Mwana executed a series of flying changes, their timing impeccable. Mwana's dark coat glistened with sweat, but he showed no signs of fatigue. Their partnership and training were on full display as they performed a half-pass with precision, Jay's hands and legs communicating every subtle cue.
The climax of their routine came as they approached a set of decorative logs adorned with lush plants. With a gentle squeeze of his legs, Jay urged Mwana forward, and the shedu executed a flawless piaffe, lifting his legs high in a rhythmic trot in place. The logs were an impressive jump, and it was here that they faced their most daring moment.
Mwana hesitated for a fraction of a second, his dark eyes fixed on the pool of water on the other side of the logs. It was a leap of faith for both cat and rider. Jay's heart raced as he urged Mwana onward, and with a powerful push, they cleared the jump, landing gracefully on the other side. The crowd erupted in cheers, their hearts pounding in unison with the music.
As they continued their routine, Jay and Mwana moved as one, their trust and connection evident in every step. The performance flowed seamlessly through a series of lateral movements, from leg-yields to shoulder-ins, each executed with precision and elegance.
As the music reached its crescendo, Jay and Mwana executed a dramatic finish, a final turn that left the crowd in applause. Their performance hadn't been flawless, but it definitely showed Jay's improvement as a handler and how he was learning.
As they left the arena, Jay unhitched the cart from the cat and patted Mwana's sleek neck as a silent thank you for his unwavering dedication. The sun had now dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the cattery grounds. It was the end of another exhilarating day at the competition, and Jay looked forward to the challenges and adventures that awaited them in the days to come.
