Whiskers and Felin became an inseparable pair as they went about their daily lives of petty thievery. Felin enjoyed every moment he spent with his new pet and friend.
One of those nights where it rained cats and dogs. Lightning fizzed through the dark clouds, brightening them up and the sound of thunder roared.
Felin ran home in the downpour, falling many times. His cloth was soiled in mud and his face browned by it. He was drenched and shivering but he needed to get home.
He forced the door to his home opened and bent down, panting.
"Ma, I'm ba-"
Felin stood, gazing into the room and speechless. His eyes followed the trail of blood on the floor to where it ended.
He ran to meet his cat as he laid on the floor in the pool of its own blood. "Whiskers!" Felin screamed.
He took Whiskers and hugged her tightly, crying out her name. "Whiskers!"
