I fell asleep on my best friend's lap.
It's comfortable and warm. He gives me strength and energy and makes me feel welcome but...

Am I dreaming?

It might sound odd but this is what I saw... What do you think should I have alarmed humankind or let it be? As a tomcat I rather play dumb before they blame me just like they always blame Tom instead of that annoying, creepy mouse Jerry.

It is daytime I can tell by the sky although it's dark, it didn't fell and not many humans are outside. There is a robot standing high shouting the aliens had taken over the world and we all have to hurry to the marketplace as ordered. He shouts about some mark that is made and draws it in the air. It is a kind of X although I can be mistaken since I don't hear too well plus never learned the alphabet.
I see humans and animals run and fly by but I can't move a paw. No way I leave my human friend behind I worked way too hard to drill him to let go of my personal servant. I know he is still around because I hear his heartbeat and his voice saying: There's nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about?
Why are all those people leaving? They are in a hurry and have no intention to stay. I try to move my paws to warn my friend, how come I am paralyzed and he doesn't see what I see? Did fear take over the atmosphere?

Why are you guys leaving, why are you in such a hurry, I meow but they don't answer. Help, help what's the rush, why are you all in such a hurry? Isn't anyone of you able to speak?

What's the fuss, buzzes a bee, can't you see I'm still here? We all are and have to work lazy cat. Why do you make such a noise? Your meowing is deafening, go back to sleep if you have nothing better to do.

The bee in the poppy tries to ignore me I am 100 per cent sure she does.

Beeee, I meow but at the same moment I do...
flash I end up in an unknown room. I have never seen a place like this and keep low while I investigate it. What kind of place is this and why does it smell so unfamiliar?

Meowww!

Shocked I ran underneath a dresser who are those people and where is my guardian? I can no longer hear his hearbeat or his voice and that light hurts my eyes.

Scared I hide and hold my breath as I hear the footsteps coming closer.

Here is it, a man says.

What is the 'here' this stranger talks about? Is it the X the robot has transferred me to?

Make yourself at home.

It doesn't look like home to me and it doesn't feel like home to her. She cries which I can see if I peep at her from under the dresser. I miss my human and have no idea where he is. Slowly, I creep closer. If this is the end of the world then I rather be with her than alone.

Merow? Questioningly, I look at her.

Hello cat, where do you come from? Is your life such a mess too? I've never seen a tomcat like you. You are very big. Do you want to sit on my lap?

I hesitate but can't resist her offer. I am tired from the journey, the trip to X that I have taken unwillingly.

Silently she strokes under my chin until she asks: What is your name?

Cash-meoarrre, I meow which she misunderstoods.

Mare she says. I miss my country... if it still exists it's somewhere across the water. It is a beautiful name cat. Mine is Mira. I think MiraMare fits well together. Shall we go for a walk in the garden?

Outside we go, me and my new friend. That garden is huge and nearby is more water than I saw in my entire life.

Be careful, she says, if you fall down... I can't swim.

I hate water too, I think, I just take a bath to please my human. I hope he didn't forget me. Worried I look over the ocean next to me stands the woman who takes care of me. She is sweet but all I want is to wake up on the lap of my best friend.
