Kitty

  



I have three cats.

 One day, my wife’s father found a kitty on a street. We took in the kitty temporarily. We called him Rain because my father-in-law found the kitty on a rainy day.

 My wife and I talked it over. We wanted to welcome Rain into our family. But we already had three cats. One more might be too many. We decided to find someone who could take care of Rain. 

 We thought we should take care of our cats and Rain separately. Rain had to go someday, so we thought it best if they didn’t become friends. We gave him one room. We made it so the other cats couldn’t enter that room. They never met him.

 But they could sense him. After Rain came into our home, all three of the cats became very nervous. We could feel their anxiety. Cats are delicate.

 Finally, we found new owners for Rain. We believed that they were good people. My wife and I felt relieved.

 Rain left our home. The new owners were going to give him a wonderful new name.

 A few hours after Rain left, our three cats’ moods changed drastically. They started to relax.

 Maybe they also felt relieved.
