P12 Extension
My name is Pie
My name is Pie. I’m a rescue cat. When I was a Kitten. My owner went to live in another country. So he gave me to someone el. The new owner was good to me for a while. I was very sick and he took me to the vet, bandaged my paws，gave me my medicine and made sure I got better. But then things went wrong .I’m an energetic guy; I love to climb and to play. I love to chew things, to rip up paper and most of all I like cuddles. My owner didn't like that stuff. He wanted me to be calm and quiet and not bother him. Whenever I did something he didn't like, he'd put cold water in the bath and throw me in there to teach me to behave.
Then one day, two people came to our home. One I recognized as my owner’s ex-girlfriend. I liked her－she always played with me and let me sit on her lap. She had anot
her man with her who was her friend and he took me away becau my owner didn’t like me any more He put me in a carrier and carried me to his car. We waited there for a while until the woman came to join us and the man talked to me and stroked me all the time, even though I climbed all over everything. He didn’t mind. This was my third owner.
He took me to his apartment and let me out of the carrier .While I sniffed around and explored, he just sat and drank a cup of hot, brown stuff. He watched me and talked to me and smiled a lot. It was very strange. He didn’t even get angry when I climbed on the sofa or the shelves or the table. He just made that funny human laugh noi and petted me whenever I went near him.
