The Cat that said ‘Purr-lease!’



Once there was a cat without a home. He had a very difficult life, living off scraps and mice, which he found bitter and chewy. One day, as he was roaming through the gardens, he saw a lovely lady. She opened her door and he saw into a beautiful living room, with a lovely, soft-looking sofa. There were beautiful cushions on that sofa and he dreamt of kneading them with his claws. 
She spotted him! She smiled, went back into her kitchen and returned with a sardine on a plate for him. He ate it very gratefully and said a loud ‘meow.’ That meow meant, ‘Please can I come and live with you?’ However, the lady had an important job and she didn’t want the responsibility of a cat.
Still, every day, she left him a little something – a piece of fish, a bowl of milk, a can of tuna. Eventually, the cat let her tickle his ears.
After a few weeks, he rolled over and let her tickle his tummy. He looked deep into her eyes and purred. Soon after, she decided that, actually, having a cat wouldn’t be too much trouble after all and so she let him in.

Now, that lady’s beautiful cushions are torn to shreds, but she doesn’t mind at all!
