AN ANGEL IN A CAT'S BODY

Hello, my loves!

A regular family always have fur babies.

My parents are no different. When they are still dating at the age of 16 (mom) and 19 (dad), they always dream about their future life with dogs. A few months later, they have an actual baby... ME. No one was thrilled about the idea, except for my parents. So they decided to drop out of school and get married in Las Vegas.

Fast forward...

When I was 5 years old, my parents surprised me by getting a dog. That was when I realized, I don't like animals... at all! Instead of being happy and thrilled, I cried my heart out. They are constantly needy and licking all over my face. I hate it. And I made sure my parent would feel the same feelings that I have with the dog. My parents, of course, were shocked and decided to give it back to the pound after my week-long crazy meltdowns.

But everything changed when I was 7 years old. Since my parents were always busy at their work, I was left with a babysitter. Every Thursday, after the sitter fed me lunch, she’ll take me to the playground 5 blocks away from our house and leave me there until 4 pm. When she took me to the park, I mind my own business, of course, while she sat on the bench not too far from where I am.

When I got tired, that was when I realized that there is no one in the park anymore but me. I looked at the bench where I last saw my babysitter and shocked to see that she was gone. I got scared. In my head, I thought that my babysitter has been taken away. That she was in danger. Silly thought, right? I started crying but no one came to rescue me. I don’t know what to do. I wait... wait... and wait. But my worries just grew when I saw that the sky is turning black. Soon it will be dark and I hate being in the dark alone.

I continue crying and that’s when I heard what I thought is a voice saying "meow". I wiped my tears away and there I saw an all-black cat sitting in front of me. It is staring at me, curious. I composed myself and asked the cat "Are you lost too?" I know cats can’t speak but I still talked to it anyway. The black cat replied a short "meow" which I understood as 'no'. I'm really scared and I suddenly asked the black cat "Can you take me home?"

It then stood up and start to walk away. I thought the cat is not interested. So, I just keep sitting on where I am. But then I heard three long "meow" and when I looked in the sound's direction, I saw the cat standing and look at me as if asking me why I am not moving. The cat just walked and I really thought that she’ll take me home, so I followed it.

I don’t know how long I was walking at that time. But then, I saw the cat is sitting on top of a silver car looking at me and I knew it is annoyed. 'I'm just a kid, this is how fast I can walk' that was what's on my head back then. I walked past the car and the cat is not moving. I looked at it curiously, then my attention went to the car. I saw it racking, I looked inside to see what caused it and there I saw my babysitter having sex with someone. She still has her skirt, but her breast is out and someone is sucking it.

Of course, back then, I didn't know that it was sex. I just knew that person with her is the man who took her. I looked away and I saw the cat starting to walk again. After three more blocks, I reach home. My mom was shocked when she got home and saw me outside the house sitting with a cat. She kept thanking God for bringing me home safe and I remembered correcting her. I told her that God isn’t the one who brought me home safe, it’s the cat. Then my mom looked at the cat and say ‘thank you.’

When my mom asked me where the babysitter was, I told her that she was abducted and someone is holding her inside a silver car. My mom went mental and started to call everyone. Then, my babysitter ran to the door and hug me. "Oh, I thought I lost you" she whispered. My mom asked her what happened and she said, she wasn't kidnapped. She just saw an old friend and showed her his new car. She apologizes and went home without accepting her payment.

My parents walked her to the door and there I remember the black cat. I begged my mom if we can take care of the cat. They are surprised by my interest in an animal and said yes. I ran outside the house and the cat is on top of my dad's silver car. My dad tried to catch it but she ran away. I just thought maybe she has other kids to help. After that incident, every time I feel lost I always go to the nearest pet store and look at the cats. They somehow give me a light of hope.
