Cosmo

A wise old cat

By Doreen ChandPublished 3 years ago β€’ 3 min read

Once upon a time, in a quiet suburban neighborhood, there was a female cat named Cosmo. She had a striking black and white fur coat, piercing green eyes, and a confident strut that made her stand out among all the other cats in the area. However, what made her truly unique was her ability to talk.

Cosmo was not always able to speak. In fact, it was a complete shock to her when she first discovered this newfound ability. She was out exploring the neighborhood one day when she stumbled upon an old, abandoned laboratory. Curiosity getting the best of her, Cosmo decided to take a closer look. As she was snooping around, she accidentally knocked over a strange potion that was bubbling on a nearby table. The potion spilled all over her, causing her to feel dizzy and disoriented.

Suddenly, she heard a voice inside her head. It was her own voice, but it was different somehow. It was as if her thoughts were now being spoken aloud. She stumbled around, confused and scared, but the voice continued to speak to her.

After a few minutes, Cosmo realized that she had gained the ability to talk. Overwhelmed by this newfound power, she ran out of the laboratory and back to her home, eager to tell her owner, a kind woman named Emily, about her amazing discovery.

Emily was just as shocked as Cosmo, but she quickly adapted to her talking cat. Cosmo, in turn, was thrilled to finally be able to communicate with her beloved owner. She would often talk Emily's ear off, telling her about her adventures around the neighborhood, and giving her opinions on the latest cat toys and treats.

As word of Cosmo's ability to talk spread around the neighborhood, she became somewhat of a local celebrity. Other cats would often come to visit her, hoping to hear her stories and get her advice. Cosmo loved the attention, and she became known as the "wise old cat" among the other felines.

However, as much as she enjoyed her newfound fame, Cosmo also struggled with some of the negative attention that came with it. Some cats would tease her, calling her a freak and making fun of her for being different. Cosmo would always try to brush off these comments, but they still hurt her deep down.

One day, while she was out for a walk, she stumbled upon a young kitten who was being bullied by a group of older cats. The kitten was crying and cowering in fear, and Cosmo knew she had to do something to help.

Drawing on her newfound confidence, Cosmo walked up to the bullies and demanded that they leave the kitten alone. To her surprise, they actually listened to her, backing off and scurrying away.

The kitten was so grateful to Cosmo that she followed her home, begging to be her friend. Cosmo was hesitant at first, worried that the kitten might be using her for her newfound fame, but she soon realized that the kitten was genuinely kind and wanted nothing more than to be friends.

From that day on, Cosmo and the kitten, whom she named Luna, became inseparable. Cosmo taught Luna all about the neighborhood and the other cats who lived there, and Luna helped Cosmo to see the world in a new, more positive light. Together, they were unstoppable.

As the years went by, Cosmo became known as a wise old cat, not just among the other felines but among the humans as well. She would often be interviewed by local news outlets, and people from all over the world would come to visit her, hoping to hear her stories and get her advice.

Despite all of the attention and accolades, Cosmo never forgot her roots. She always made time for her owner, Emily, and for Luna
