Seemingly lonely

An old man sat alone near a fire. He was pondering why no body ever wanted to love him. He had tried so hard to be appreciated, he had become a multi millionaire to try and impress people and gain friendship to no avail. All he wanted was a son, someone to nurture and be proud of as he watched them grow up. He had been scorned by his lover, her son, and even ghosts. Belonging nowhere and to no one. He was so lonely sometimes.

A small black and white cat walked up to him. He looked down at it and picked it up and said "you'll never leave me will you fruity." The little cat purred, glad to be able to give affection to someone who was so lonely. The old man cuddled the cat, glad he took the advise of his would be son.
