Feline love

Chapter 1

Monday 10th November

Sarah woke up to a very loud banging on her front door so loud she could have sworn the thing would come off it's hinges groggy with her eyes still blurry from sleep she slipped from her bed and made her way to the dark solid wood door once it opened she shouted "Where the hell is the fire what's going o......" Her words fell away as she looked around at the perfectly manicured and very empty front lawn with it's tall lush green tree's that were cut into different shape from triangles and smooth round balls to different animals and the hundreds of bright and beautiful colored flowers it was her own small version of heaven and as the sun was shining brightly it turn the whole garden into something straight out of a fairy tale but even though the sun was out the air was still a bit cold to the point she could see her own breath as a cloud feeling that way she wrapped her arms around her chest hopping from foot to foot she decided she had had enough but just as she turned to go back inside to the comfort of her bed she saw a shadow dart to wards her from the corner of her eyes and that's when she noticed a small black cat but as she bent down to get a closer look,

the cat ran past her and in the front door chasing the cat an barely remembering to close and lock the front door she found the cat curled up on her favorite pale blue cotton quilt with white rose's on "hey and what do you think your doing you cheeky git" but oddly enough she didn't care because it was the most beautiful male cat she had ever seen and yes she knew he was a boy because her dad was a vet and when she was younger she would help him on her days off from school but there was something different about this cat it had the most clear gold eyes with an intelligence that rivaled most people she knew so she carefully leaned down to stroke him as she didn't want him to be afraid,

his fur was like the finest most expensive silk she had ever felt "so who do you belong to ay they have to be missing you" she picked up her phone from the bedside cabinet an rang her dads surgery as always when she rang he answered on the 3rd ring "hello sweetheart is everything okay" he still thought of her as his little baby that he needed to protect even though she was 27 years old and one of the youngest surgeons at St walburgers hospital.

"yeah dad don't worry just wondering if anyone has gone to you about a missing black male cat I'm not sure on his age but he is not very old"

The cat at that moment started to purr as I trickled his belly begging for more by rolling over "no sorry sweetheart no one has been in but I will make a note of it how did you get him" dad who never misses a thing had obviously noticed the time and that because I work the night shift I'm normally sleeping the sleep of the dead (ha I wish I was as I have to be up in 6 hours for a very complex and long surgical procedure and just got to sleep an hour an half ago) but having a cat sprawled out over the pillows and bedding made that hard.

"okay dad thanks and I woke up because someone was banging on my door then he just walked in and now the cheeky little git has stolen my bed" but as I said that I was smiling because it had been a long time since I had had a cat and I had kind of missed having one laughing now dad says "oh I bet that's a hard ship for you but he seems happy so give him a name and find his owner's could he have a chip" looking at the gorgeous little guy,

replying” I don't know I suppose I could bring him down to you later before I leave for work" oops not that I have a cat transport box s**t oh well I'll pick one up "yeah that's okay and I'll give him a quick check up not to mention I haven't seen you since you moved" now he sounded sad and that I hated I know dad I've just been busy but I promise I will see you soon but I might have to drop by tomorrow with the cat as I have just realized I don't have a transport box so I will have to pick one up but now I better get some sleep I'm in work for 8pm glancing at the clock that said 2.08pm

"okay sweetheart I'll see you then have a nice sleep hope the cat is a good boy for you" as I put the phone down I muttered well he seems to be okay getting of the bed I go in to the kitchen that is all black marble and white with the odd bit of red thrown in and all the electrical appliances a shiny chrome.

Going to the fridge I pull out some ham put it in a bowl and wonder tiredly in to my bedroom putting the bowl on the floor then pick him up "have fun eating that its the good stuff now I'm going to go to sleep now" he takes a sniff at the bowl then digs in as if he has never seen a good meal before getting back into bed she checked that the alarm was set then looked to see if the cat was still eating then fell into a dreamless sleep.
