Kit, however, has the Footprint of Azban, a key item that will lead him to the Bone of Contention, which could help prevent a war between the Flealess and the untamed residents of the city.

I'm a Humanitarian: The Rat King is actually composed of 100 rats jumbled together. The only way they survive is by eating any of the sick or elderly rats in the pile after new members join.

comment
The City Narrows: An odd example. Ankle Snap Alley is only a small section of a city populated by humans. But from the animals' point-of-view, the alley is an actual city large enough for dozens of animals to live in.

Character Development: Kit. The beginning of the story shows him as a young, naïve, frightened raccoon who constantly thought the world was out to get him. As the novel slowly progresses, his courage builds and he becomes desensitized to all the criminals he runs into in Ankle Snap City. By the time he meets Gayle, he's a full-on Deadpan Snarker who can face the gator nonchalantly, even when she tries to eat him.

Honor Before Reason
 The Wild Ones / int_44fc28e8
comment
Honor Before Reason: Kit gives the Bone of Contention to the Rabid Rascals not because he trusts them with it, but because he made a deal with them that he couldn't break. This bites him in the ass minutes later when Basil swallows it, thus eradicating any proof that the city belongs to the Wild Ones.

comment
Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: The Blacktail brothers are generally unpleasant, scheming beasts who hold a grudge against Kit throughout the entire book for not paying them money they conned him out of. At the end of the book, they have the chance to redeem themselves by saving Kit when he's in peril. They respond by turning their backs to him, and if it hadn't been for Gayle, Kit would've died.

Didn't Think This Through: Despite knowing that no one in Ankle Snap Alley can be trusted, Kit has no problem handing the Bone of Contention over to the Rabid Rascals. Then it's revealed that Basil betrayed the gang to the Flealess, and he quickly swallows the Bone and flees before they can catch him.
