The Cat's Incarceration - Day 1
Continued from part 1
Dusty, the kleptomaniac cat's lucky streak has finally come to an end. After many years of investigations, the police caught the cat in action, which led to its incarceration. Most certainly, the cat did not picture prison as its ideal getaway location.
Dusty had a shock when he woke up in the cold prison cell, lying shaggy in a dark corner. Cats are known for their incredible ability to adapt, but this one will definitely need some time to adjust to the new conditions, after spending most of its life in a fancy neighborhood. Its soft, cushioned bed is gone and so are the cat’s favorite treats. There’s no more wandering around under the moonlight hunting rodents.
At the moment, the future of this cat looks rather grim. Everything in the cell was disgusting, starting with the bowl of food the cat just received in the morning. The old cracked bowl in which the food was served had something in it that looked like a mush, with a few leftovers that couldn’t be identified when it came to their provenience. At the sight and smell of the food bowl, the cat started scratching the floor with its paw, the same gesture it does when it uses its litter box, in an attempt to cover its filth. This definitely gives us an insight on the cat’s insight concerning its breakfast.
Circling its dark and damp cell, the cat goes nuts not knowing how many hours passed since it was there. Time suddenly lost its value in prison, making the cat wonder how will it be able to tell how much it has to stay there. Once the sun started to set and the night to gradually install outside, something grabbed the attention of the cat. As the wind tried to squeeze in through the cell’s small window, one of its bars started to vibrate under the action of the air. The cat’s eyes started to glow with hope, knowing that if it manages to make that bar looser, it may be able to squeeze through and get out of prison. Considering that the food there was far from being palatable, the cat had all the chances to lose significant weight and go through any crack it desired.
But, this plan needed time and patience. Dusty had to play with the bar gently at night, to make it move even more from its socket, preparing it for the big escape. It seems that the mischievous cat will try to take advantage of the extra lives it still has to enjoy a brighter future outside of prison.
