A cat's tale

Ch.1: Abandoned

Life can change easily, from a life of comfort to a life of survival.

"meow!" The cat cried from inside the box but the woman didn't pause her steps.

It was dark inside the box, the little kitten couldn't see anything.
He shivered with fear.

The woman left the box near a bus stop.

Inside the box the kitten kept meowing, he wanted to get out of the box.

The woman walked without looking back at the box.

The Little kitten kept meowing and clawing the box's top, trying to open it.

'momma! Momma! I'm scared...' the little kitten cried in his heart.

But an ominous feeling hit him as he recalled how his owner acted today.
---
"Sorry, crystal we can't keep you anymore..." The woman said as she patted the little kitten's head.
Crystal, the little kitten didn't understand properly but he saw his owner cry and Nestled against her hand.

'momma, don't cry...' he thought to himself as he licked the tears that fell on the woman's hand.
"Meow, meow" crystal licked the woman's hand and meowed.
"Sorry... I'm sorry...." The woman kept muttering.
---
'it's dark, momma! I'm scared!'

Crystal hit the top of the box again and again.

Finally he saw light, the box was clawed open by him.
'got it!' crystal felt happiness fill his heart as he saw the light.

But his eyes shook when he saw some seats and a lamp post.

His owner was nowhere to be seen and he didn't recognise this place.

'no, no, it can't be...' crystal got out of the box and walked around but he didn't see his owner.

He didn't see any humans let alone his owner.

The bus stop was deserted, no human or animal could be seen.
He remembered what his friend told him,
---
"Look, don't believe humans... they will abandon you easily." The orange cat said as it licked it's paw.

"No way! Momma would never abandon me!" Crystal shouted at the orange cat.
He hissed at the orange cat, while the orange cat just sighed and shook it's head.
---
'no... Momma wouldn't have abandoned me! She will come back and... And...' Crystal curled up on the ground, trembling.

"Meow!" Crystal cried out loud.
'momma!'

"Meeoow... Meow!" Crystal paced around as he kept meowing.
'it can't be... No!'

It started raining, water drops hit the kitten.

He was drenched in the rain but he kept meowing.

'momma!'
'momma, it's cold!'

He dragged his drenched body to the bus stop.

He felt cold, he trembled and sneezed.

The little kitten walked to the box that it clawed it's way out and jumped inside it, it felt warmer inside the box.

The little kitten shivered because of the cold but it's heart felt colder.
He understands that his momma has abandoned him.
He heard a lot from his friend, he knows how hard stray cats have it.

'momma, I can't believe you abandoned me...'

"Meow..." He meowed.
'i should have listened...'

He curled up inside the box, he felt cold and his heart shattered into pieces as the heartwarming memories with his owner flooded his mind.
---
"Crystal do you like the food?" The woman asked as she watched the kitten eat.
"Meeeow!" Crystal meowed happily.
'i love it!'
---
"Wow! my kitty is so pretty!" The woman hugged the kitten as she said.
"Meow!" Crystal meowed.
'Of course I am!'
---
'why?' he wanted to know the answer, he wanted to know why he was abandoned.

Crystal the little kitten felt like he grew up instantly.

'it's not like I can't live!' a determined look flashed in his eyes.

He shivered, his white fur had been dirtied into a brown but his eyes shone brightly.

'i need to live' the little kitten kept repeating in its heart.

That's the start of the kitten's life.
His strength determines his path, if he is cuter he will be adopted by a human, if he is not cute enough he has to be a stray cat.
His strength determines his life, if he becomes a stray cat.
But Crystal cannot trust anyone now as such he must choose a path and he will most likely choose the hard one.

He needs to hunt for his food, search for it, Starve somedays.
It will be hard but crystal is not a normal kitten, he is a very strong kitten and he will win in his life.
