A cat's tale

Ch.3: A serene evening

He woke from the nap and yawned, he didn't know how long has passed.

He got out of the box, the sky looked orange.

He stared at the sky, 'the nap went a bit long...'

His tail shook as he watched the sky.

He sat beside the box and watched the road.

He saw a few cats looking skinny and dirty walk past him. He could sense pity from their eyes when they looked at him.

Crystal didn't mind it but if it was before he would have flared up in anger.

'i'm more lucky than them...' he thought so because he knew ways to survive and he still had energy.

'but I guess I'm as dirty as them...' his tail shook as he watched the road.

He watched humans walking and a few humans sat on the seats of the bus stop.

Buses came and went.
Not a lot noticed him.

"Looks like an abandoned kitten..."
"Yeah poor thing..."

He heard whispers from the people that noticed him.
He didn't mind it but all the pitying was irritating him.

But two women squated before him and put some cat treats on the ground.

Crystal ate it.

'i have an advantage because I'm little.'

Crystal may have been a house kitten but he was smart enough to navigate on the streets.
He can understand human language better than other cats too.

That's why he thinks he has many advantages.

All the tv shows he watched, all the stories he heard. He wouldn't let them go to waste.

'it was tasty!' he licked his paw as he thought.

The two women went away after taking a few photos.

Crystal jumped into his box and watched the road from inside.

He felt warmer inside the box.
He watched humans take photo of him.

He posed for them, some of them left food but some didn't.

In any case, Crystal felt full.

Time passed by and it became night.

The sky looked dark with stars shining, 'how beautiful!' Crystal smiled.

He yawned and nudged his eyes with his paw, he felt sleepy.
He curled up inside the box and started to sleep.
