The door creaks open with a small squeak.
I look toward the door and notice a cat.
It swishes its tail from side to side.
Its golden green eyes quickly survey my room.
The jet black fur is rumpled a bit like a molting bird.

I continue to watch this cat with care.
Its ears twitch when I get out of bed.
One step, two step -that’s how it goes-
Three step, four step.

I stop and kneel to the ground.
“Hey there Kitty, what are you doing here?”

It looks at me like I’m some kind of alien.
I can’t help that and laugh in my head.
The cat’s figure is an obvious sign it’s a “she”.

“Well then Baby girl,” I gave her a quick nickname,
“Would you like to play with me?”
I pull the red ribbon out from my hair.
Holding one end, I throw the other in front of its paws.

It moves its body back and observes the ribbon.
Moving slightly forward, a small white paw attacks.
Its claws extended, the ribbon is the victim.

I pull the ribbon lightly.
Out comes a second white paw that latches onto the ribbon.
I let out a smile and pull the ribbon again.
This was my kind of play with such a beautiful creature.

Several minutes pass.
I am now sitting and watching the cat.
It plays with the ribbon all by itself.
I’m up until sunrise just watching this cat.

As the sun rises, the cat becomes translucent.
Soon the cat is not there.
The red ribbon just lies on the ground in front of me.

“Baby girl, I will play with you again next month when the moon shines bright.
Baby girl, I miss you.
I wish you all the best still.”
Wrote this for my online english class as well...critques please :)

Oh and the story is about my kitty China...she died 5 years ago and I still love her.
