Chapter 1
I like where I live. I mean, living with humans is a bit odd, I am still getting used to it but its nice from what Mother has told me. I have gotten older, and I have been exploring Sarah's home. Sarah is the human Mother and I live with. Mother sits in front of the forest, she is getting old and frail, but I couldn't tell at that time. Sarah, whenever she see's me she bursts into tears. They know something Mother and I don't. I just know it, not what they know, but that they know something we don't know, ANYWAYS. It scares me, and I'm scared about Mother. She has been a little out of it lately, forgetting where she is and such. I have to remind her of where we are every couple of days. It scares me.
I am named Cricket, and my siblings died young. I was the only one surviving of my Mother's litter, and so she is very protective of me still. I'm about 7 or 8 months old, in human time, and she still hisses when she see's Sarah getting to close. I don't mind the humans touching me, they are very gentle to me, and very kind. They feed me, and give me water and such. I like it here, but the strangest thing happened. Sarah brought a cage home, crying, and coaxed me in. Mother had been taken somewhere, and hadn't come back yet. I knew this place was called the vet. I was going somewhere like it, later I found that it was called a pound. I am telling this part of the tale from inside a cage, in the car.

Like it so far? I finished reading the book, 'A Dog's Life', and I am making a story LIKE it but how I think my cat, Cricket's, life may have been before we got her.
