Orangie's Thoughts

That was not what I had planned.

Early this morning, I was hit by a car. I did not survive. I made a quick journey to the bridge, where I was met by my long time best friends Molly. She was happy to see me, but she was angry about what happened. We spent all day together talking and catching up. She told me she had been keeping an eye on my baby girl Bella. Now, I can watch Bella grow up. I am so glad she is a house cat. I was not. I lived on the streets. I had lived here so long, I thought I was safe. I knew the rules, but someone just did not see me. I did not suffer. It was over in an instant. I will miss Bella and meowing at her thru the screen door. But she will be ok. And I am ok now too.

Sigh.

I miss Molly. It's just not the same around here. That lady who feeds me at the house where Molly used to live, gives me food, pets me, listens to my stories. She is concerned because I am kinda beat up. She said to me "Orangie, if you would just stay here instead of wandering, I promise to take care of you". I like her, but where would I hide out? Well, I could hide in the back yard. The dogs live inside the house now and only come outside a few times a day....hmmmm. But even when she does not see me, she always leaves food out. It's like she knows I will be coming. Maybe I should just stay there. I don't like wandering all the time. Let me think about this....

I miss Molly

I am so mad! Why Molly? Not fair. I dont even go to the cul de sac anymore. I miss the nice food lady. I trusted her and let her pick me up and pet me. I dont let just any one pet me. Molly said food lady was ok and would not hurt me. She was right. I am not afraid to go back to the cul de sac. Molly is not there, so I stay closer to home now. I know Molly is keeping an eye one me. We watched out for each other. I will miss my friend.
