Cats can be friends too.

My story.

I hate how people say that, eugh! As if a good old cat isn't as good as a dog? Dream on. I still remember the day I got my little Sokz (socks) you can guess what he looks like by now. Anyway as soon as we went into the animal shelter we walked through the teeniest little corridor. We saw small kittens, great big fat tabby cats but they just all looked the same,your average cat.Then we walked on, all sight of owning the kitten of my dreams had vanished, that was until I saw the tiniest little kitten staring at its paws in confusion. After laughing at it with my parents, I realised what paws there were too! The cat was jet black until you got to it's little paws, which were sparkling white. As you've guessed we snatched him up quick.
      Sokz adapted to our home very well, he came home and named him, which you know of. As soon as I called out his name his tail shot up in the air and his beautiful sparkling blue eyes lit up and he darted to my arms."Aha,theres a boy." I soothed. Most of that night was spent looking after my darling little prince,then he snuggled up on my lap and after a few more minutes his purrs became longer.They were snores.
  I've had my little Sokz to this day. I've moved out, i'm 21 and i'm studying medicine in college.I still spend most nights curled up on the sofa with my little Sokz. He's not much bigger. He's still got his socks on and snores the exact same way. I love my little cat to pieces.
Yes. I was happy during this part of my life, though today my little Sokz ran away. Little did I know, until i read about him in the news. There was a house fire a few blocks away. Sokz was just strolling past when it happened.He realised something was wrong.So he ran to the nearest door and started clawing at it,the door eventually opened and Sokz somehow lead the woman to the fire and she dialed 911. A few minutes later the giant vehicle was there but instead of hosing down the fire, they just ran in and grabbed people.They got everyone out, or so they thought. Cats have very good hearing so Sokz could hear afaint scream of a little girl. He darted inside the burning building and searched and searched until he found the little girl. The smoke had defeated her and she was falling asleep, therefore she would die. Sokz clawed at her arm and suddenly the girl woke up, she forgot all about the little animal that saved her life and ran through the flame. That little girl survived, badly injured though. Sadly Sokz didnt even make that, he was killed. He got trapped and burned to death. I cried for days. So, the next time. Dont you dare say 'dogs are a mans bestfriend' It can be a cat too. They may not get too leave their pawprints in the sand, but they too can leave a huge impact on the world. R.I.P my little Prince, Sokz xox
