Story: Meow!
MEOW!!!
Hello there! I’m a cat. Yes I know I’m quite adorable with my palm size body, soft white fur and beautiful green eyes. I guess you could say that I’m purr-fect. Heh! But despite this I’m afraid I’m not the luckiest cat in the world, in fact, I’m quite the opposite. Hey, do you have time to listen to a story? You do? Great!
It all started on a rainy day, I was just going on about my life as a stray trying to find shelter form the harsh rainwater.
Unfortunately, as I’ve told you all before I’m quite an unlucky feline and it was impossible for me to find a good enough shelter so I settled for a pile of old newspapers that someone threw near a bench. I curled my cute little self under the pile of torn and soggy papers hoping that it will give me at least little ease. It was getting late, the rain was getting worst and it was pouring harder and I had never felt so uncomfortable. I was hungry and cold and hungry and scared and hungry. And just when I thought that it was over for me just when I was about to lose hope she came along.
I would never forget her pretty face; even now her memory is still vivid. The way her red hair was tied into pigtails her round, sparkling brown eyes, and the sound of her voice when she greeted me, and her beautiful smile.
Her smile that seemed to melt away the coldness I felt that day. She knelt down holding her umbrella. I knew she was a good person and I knew she could be trusted so I moved from my position under the pile of newspapers and walked towards her. Her smile grew bigger and her eyes seem to shine, she settled her umbrella so it shelters both of us and rummaged through her pink shoulder bag. Finally she took out a bottle of milk and a bag of cookies. She then poured some milk on the bottle’s cap and gave it to me I eagerly drank the refreshing drink. The little girl moved the cookies closer to me and gave me an expectant look. I gave out a happy meow and quickly nibble the offered treats. She seemed glad about me liking the cookies that she let out a happy giggle. Sometimes humans are too easy to please. I was just about to finish eating when she picked me up and nuzzled our noses together. She’s really adorable,
I like her.
The girl put me down apologizing for the fact that she can’t take me home with her and also promising that she’ll come back tomorrow. She took off one of the ribbons from her hair and gently tied it to my neck. Petting my head one last time, she whispered a small goodbye.
I watched her walk away. And as her promise of return rang in my ears I haven’t even noticed that it already stopped raining.
Just like she promised she did come back and offered more treats. It wasn’t raining that time so we dashed off to the park and played all day.
After a few moments she said her goodbye again and promised she’ll come back.
And she came back the next day
And the next day
And the next day
And the next
And the next
And the days that followed after.
She was the most wonderful person I have ever met. Sometimes when we didn’t feel like playing she would sit under a tree, me on her lap, and she would gently pet me and sing a soft, pretty lullaby.
I felt safe when I was in her arms. She was the first human that had shown me kindness.
She reached out her hand and took me out from the cold of loneliness she is like the sun; she’s my sun, bright, beautiful and warm.
I love her.
Then one day, we were sitting quietly under a tree watching the sunset together. The gentle strokes of her hand were lulling me to sleep. Standing up, she cradled me in her arms and gently placed me on the soft grass covered ground. She softly caressed my fur and gave me a gentle kiss whispering a goodbye in my ear.
I fell asleep her voice was the last thing I heard for the day.
I woke up, excited, the next morning eager for her return. She usually comes for me in the afternoon so I waited patiently for that moment to come.
I waited
And waited
And waited
And waited
…and waited…
But she didn’t come.
I felt a pang in my heart and a stab of loneliness. But cats are known for their positive attitudes so I told myself that she’ll come back tomorrow.
But she didn’t.
She didn’t come back the next day too.
And she didn’t come back the next day.
And the next day.
And the next day.
And the days that followed after.
I have never felt so heart broken in all my life. It was much worst then when I was feeling bad about not having anything because I had a something then it’s taken away from me.
I miss her.
And so this is where I am today.
Please don’t feel too bad for me. I’m fine, well not really, but I’m sure I will be.
I still miss her. I really, really do and I’m still waiting for her to come back and I’m sure she will.
I know she’ll come back because I could feel that she loves me too and if you love someone you don’t leave them, right?
Right!
So I’m positive, really positive, really, really positive that she’ll come back.
So please don’t be sad, I’m ok, I’m fine.
The woman smiled gently and picked up the kitten. She walked gracefully, her long white robe cascading against the soft, feathery clouds.
“There’s someone here, who’ll be happy to see you.” She said happily, “and I’m sure you’ll be happy to see her too.” The cat simply stared at her and she couldn’t help but laugh at its funny look of confusion. They walked around the peaceful place. It had been the most beautiful place the cat has ever seen. It was remarkable, magnificent; no words would be perfect enough to describe it. Finally the woman stopped walking, she knelt down and let go of the cat.
“Here you go little one.” The woman smiled and left the kitten sitting on a cloud. The cat meowed after her as if to ask what was going on. But the woman gave no response. Instead, the cat got its response from someone else.
The palm sized kitten turned around and a wave of astonishment, surprise, and happiness rushed through its tiny body. The little girl, the little girl of so long ago, was standing a few steps away. It was wearing the same outfit, and the same smile from the moment they first met.
The kitten ran towards the girl and jumped in her arms. The girl was so surprised that she fell down as she caught the small animal. Tears flowed down her eyes as she held the kitten tighter apologizing for not coming back for such a long time.
The kitten simply snuggled in the girl’s arms letting out a contented and happy purr. It looked up at the girl a look of sheer happiness on its face.
“MEOW!”
I knew you'd come back for me...
