Forest Cats of My Town

My parents used to say that cats had no feelings. But I knew that they were so wrong.

The thick forest outside my house was full of wild cats. Sometimes I would see a flame colored one looking at me. Then he would dart away into the dense undergrowth. Surely he had feelings? They all did, no matter what my parents said.

I named that one Copper.

One day I found out that the forest was being chopped down to be made into a parking lot, of all things-I was shocked! They were going to chop down the forest that the cats lived in! What would happen to them?

I wanted to help the wild cats but the workers said that the cats were just strays that they would find a new home. And if they didn't the workers were going to catch them. I worried for Copper.

I decided to go looking for him and walked for an hour or two. I hated being there because I heard the sounds of trees being cut down. The noise hurt my ears and I kept on searching desperately for Copper.

A few minutes later I found lying him under a dead tree. Two smaller cats were mewing beside him, sounding distressed.

He couldn't of survived that.

I vowed never to park at the parking lot when I got older. It was in memory of Copper.

A few years later I went on vacation to the lake that was a few hours away. I still hadn't parked a single time in that parking lot, and I usually remembred Copper's green eyes staring at me.

After I had gotten there, I got out of the car to take a walk. While I was walking I saw a flash of orange--and there was Copper!!

He looked at me, and I knew he was happy being wild,free. As he and the pale cat next to him quickly ran back into the dense undergrowth, just like he used to, I knew that Copper was at his true home.
