Personal Narrative: My Cat

512 Words2 Pages

I have a love for cats. Ever since I was a teenager I always wished for a cat of my own. When I moved in a three story apartment in California, the Manager of the complex said that cats were allowed in the units. I mentioned to my Aunt at the time that I was searching in the newspapers under advertisements for cats wanted. One cool breezy evening, my Aunt called me and said that a friend of her's named Judy had a cat named Katie who did not get along with her other two cats. So I agreed to meet with Judy to see if I'd love to adopt Katie.

As my Aunt and I entered Judy's house which was a fifteen minute drive from where I live, I noticed cut black and white cat long haired cat with a pink nose and mysterious slanted eyes sneaking up on me near the corner of the hallway of the house. Judy shared with me that Katie was spayed, what foods to feed the cat and that she was tramatized. Judy had shared with me that she took Katie to the Shelter to try to find the owners but to no aval. You see, Katie had showed up at Judy's arcadia door so Judy took her in and kept her for several months before deciding to give the cat away.

When I bought Katie to my apartment, she was so frightened. She meowed all night. I called Judy to say that I didn't think I could care for her, but Judy encouraged me to give the cat time to adjust, because she was in a new surrounding. I started feeding my new cat fresh Purina One Special Care dry food and Friskies moist food along with a fresh bowl of water each morning and evening. I also bougth a cat brush to stroke her long luxurious black and white hair, plus I took her to the Vet for an annual booster and rabie shot so I could give the records of the shots to my Manager.

I've discovered so much about cats since I adopted Katie. I decided to change her name to Sugar, because of her white tuxedo. I bought her a condo to sleep on plus a new littler box. I also give her a cat vitamin by chopping the vitamin up an placing the tiny pieces in her bowl.

    The grandmother makes several mistakes throughout the story some that seem minute but all together add up towards the end. Her first mistake is when she brings the cat in the car. The grandmother reveals, “She had her big black valise that looked like the head of a hippopotamus in one corner, and underneath it she was hiding a basket with Pitty Sing, the cat, in it.” (AGMIHF Pg 1) If she wasn’t supposed to bring the cat then she would of brought it out in the open and therefore would not have to find it. We see the reason for her hding the cat when she the narrator then explains, “ Her son, Bailey, didn’t like to arrive at motel wit ha cat.” (AGMIHF Pg 1) For some reason the son doesn’t like the cat to begin with.

    If I were to describe my life as a metaphor, I would say that it would be a dog that only knows the world within its bounds. Maybe a little like Courage the Cowardly Dog as well if I looked to the symbolic aspect of it. At home the world is normal and serene, yet the moment something passes through or you leave the house things can be skewed. The most normal of things might be seen as inhuman entities out to snatch your dearest ones away. That is the life of the unaware.

  • Argumentative Essay: Can Cats Really Predict Death?

    A remarkable story emerged in the New England Journal of Medicine in regards to a cat that could "predict" the deaths of patients inside a nursing home several hours before they died. Oscar, a cat adopted with the staff of the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center throughout Providence, R. I., has at the least 25 successful predictions, in which patients died hours following the cat sat down by their own beds. After the nursing home's staff caught on Oscar's ability, they began alerting all the families whenever the cat used his post next to the patient. Most families tolerate or also welcome his presence, though Oscar becomes angry if forced out of the room of a dying individual, meowing outside the door.

  • Personal Narrative: We Got Our Dog

    We got our dog, Shorty, last summer. After having him for nearly a year we now know that he is very smart. Yeah, he’s adorable and super sweet, but he sure can be sneaky. My family got him and thought “Wow he’s such a good boy. He could never do a thing wrong.” We always forgave him when he accidentally peed on the carpet when he got too excited or when he chewed up my sister’s cheerleading picture (my mom was very angry, but she’s over it) because you could always tell when he was sorry. He’d walk up to us really slow with his tail between his legs and act so sweet so we never could stay mad at him. After the incident of him chewing up the pictures, my family decided he would not be allowed to roam free while we were gone. We knew he hated his crate, and we always felt bad when we had to put him in there, so we put in a gate that separates the kitchen from the living room to prevent him from destroying anything else.
