Izzy

   Though my allergy to cats has made me despise most of them, there is one cat on Earth that I can tolerate. Her name is Isabelle, or Izzy, for short.

   My animal-loving aunt Victoria adopted Izzy five years ago, when she was just a little kitten clawing at the small Pet Smart cage. Victoria instantly fell in love with Izzy's black and grey stripes, white paws that look like mittens, tiny pink nose, and piercing green eyes. Even with my disliking for cats, Izzy is okay. For a feline.

   Now that I've just seen Izzy again for the first time in two years, I think I have a new found respect for her. She's strong, and a true predator at heart. I can see it in when she pounces onto her seat in front of the kitchen window, flicking her tail back and forth. And if disdainful cats can portray emotion, Izzy can. She wants to be outside more than anything.

   Her eyes search the backyard for mice, squirrels, chipmunks, and birds, and as soon as she does spot one, I can tell by her stance that she is thoroughly irritated that all that separates her from the wild kingdom of her dreams is a thin sheet of glass. So simple, but also unbreakable.

   She sticks her nose up to being petted, and she hates to be cuddled. She doesn't want to drink filtered water out of a dish or eat dry, processed food, or be kept in a safe, cozy house. She longs to hunt, to dig her claws into her prey's flesh. She wants to live in a new domain where Danger is king and Wilderness is his queen.

   So I don't disturb Izzy, and she leaves me alone, as well. However, I do have respect for her. And ironically enough, I think I'm the only one that understands her.

On my way to my vaca in Fl a little while ago, we stopped at my aunt Vicky's house so I wrote this short story on her cat. Whatcha thinks?

Your write demonstrates a keen understanding of the wild (or would be wild) cat's mind. Very well done! I had a huntress once, and you nailed it!

Its really good. I love cats as well but we don't have one because we don't know if anyone is allergic to cats.
I love the story though. Very realistic!
