While walking home from work one evening, Judy came across a small black cat with white paws. The cat seemed skinny and a bit unkempt but mewed hopefully as Judy approached. “Hello, kitty,” said Judy. She stooped and stroked the cat’s flank.
Before long, Judy had scooped up the cat and
continued walking, assuming it was a stray. “I’ll take you home, and maybe you
can stay with me,” she told the cat.
Upon arriving home, Judy fed the stray cat some
canned tuna and also gave it a bowl of water. Within a few minutes, both Judy
and the cat were nesting together on the sofa. Not long after that, Judy dozed
off. Once Judy was asleep, the cat extricated itself from the blanket and
padded off to either find a pencil and paper for writing a thank-you note or
find something soft to shred to pieces with its claws.
