A cat tales

“Be good to others so others will be good to you, keep on trying extra harder and one day you will found out that everyone is actually good nature.” That’s my mother last word to me before she passed away, now I am all alone but I don’t feel lonely, because mother said her spirit will always be by my side, I don’t doubt mother’s word, because mother is reason why I am still alive now.

My name is Polly Striker and I am a cat, mother gave me the name because of my big size body and stripe body skin. Mother was not my actually real mother, she found me when I got abandoned by my real parent, I don’t have any memory on how my real parents looks, nor do I care, because mother was good to me, while our neighborhood despise us, mother didn’t hate them, I know the reason why they hate mother and me, because of me, ever since mother took me in everyone kept asking mother to send me away, but mother stood strong for her decision, she know I can’t survive without her, she knows how cruel the world is and she know how deeply she love me.

But mother died, I was the first to found mother’s dead body, her eyes was shut and her mouth was closed, she face seems peaceful but her body was smashed to pieces, I can even see her small red heart which already stopped beating. I cried of course while carrying my mother dead body back to the lair. Why did mother died? I kept on questioning this unsolvable question to myself, I am not smart so I guess I will never know the answer, all I know is that mother went to took us some food. It was the human, mother used to told me tell me the food that we ate everyday was provided by the human, and mother was the one who always took the food for us, mother said human are good if you are good to them, they give food to us and ensure our survival, can I be good to them to mother? Will they be good to me despite my big size mother? Why did you have to leave mother…..

The others notice me bringing back my mother corpse, their first reaction was scared, I can hear them whispering among each other, “He finally did it…” “That’s why I told her to throw away that bastard…” “Poor girl, killed by her beloved son….” “I knew this was going to happen…” “Let’s chase him away before he get us too…” I was confused at first and terrified, why did they doubt me? I maybe big in size but I am as kind as mother, why did they hate me? i didn’t do anything bad to them. “Go away you monster!” “Leave us alone!” “You had brought us nothing but disaster!” They were screaming and yelling at me, their eyes used to see fear in me during mother still around, but now I can see their eye full of madness which look like they can just do anything right now, even its mean hurting someone. I am scare, mother is gone now so there is no one to protect me anymore, but what should I do to make them not angry to me, “Boss!?” “It’s the boss everyone!” The boss walks out from his place and stand tall among the others, he is thinking something and after that he said: “We still unsure about Jin’s death, but you being here will disturb the order of this lair, so my final answer is that you will leave this lair within one week, I am being very kind now thanks to your mother kindness toward us, so please make use of the chance I give you before we make you leave.” Mother was right, she told me once that even if she died she will protect me as a spirit, and her kindness has given me a living chance. I am kind as mother, I am alone now so I must be kind to other and they will be kind to me too.

Unfortunately, the boss died too, he too was going out to take back some food for us, fortunately the one that found boss’s corpse was not me, it was someone else and because of that they can’t doubt me for being responsible for boss death. But still I had been ordered to leave the lair else they will do something very bad to me, so I am still staying at me and mother’s place while thinking were to go before the my time limit. Since the boss is already gone, the lair is in panic situation now, we don’t know what should we do to survive nor we had met the one that provide food to the boss and mother, the human. As everyone was panicking on what should we do and decided to vote for a new leader, we heard heavy footsteps, many heavy footsteps and it’s getting nearer and nearer to the lair.

“ASJDIJGPAOASDPOK!!!” the human was shouting something, we don’t know what they are saying, we know they are angry and the air smells of blood thirst, we all know we had to run away and abandoned our lair, but we also know that our escape route had been blocked by another party of human. “We are going to die here….we are going to die here…..” the others are scare, of course they are, we are going to die at the next few minutes, and with the boss dead, there is nothing we can do but to listen to the reaper footsteps.

Mother said someone had to take the lead when things are gone bad, someone strong and brave, I am neither brave nor strong, but we need a hero in this situation. “Run, I will distract them; I am big so they will catch me first.” I volunteer, never had I thought that I would speak up, but I did. The others look at each other for a while as if they are suspicious of my suggestion, but as they are hesitating the human had found us, we are looking at the devil at that moment as a whole bunch of them are holding tools that looked dangerous, the others dashes right away in fear, leaving me alone there, the human too are stunned when they saw me but that’s good, finally my big size body can be used in this kind of situation, but mother taught me to be kind, and I am kind, I will be good to the human then they will sure be good to me. “Are we sure about leaving that big bastard behind?“, “ Yeah, He was meant die for us in the first place.”
“Mother, the world is a cruel place to live in……”
