My Kitty Friend Plays Dead
March 16th 2008 21:00
One hot summer afternoon I found my kitty friend lying behind a steel fence near the stairs. He miaowed at me before he rolled over on his back and lay there with his paws up in the air, mouth half opened. He didn’t move at all. At first I wondered if there was something wrong with him but then I figured it couldn’t be. However, he did look sick/dead. His performance was so convincing that a passer-by stopped and watched the cat for a moment. “Is this cat sick?” he asked me.
“I think he’s okay,” I said.
The passer-by didn’t look convinced but walked off.
Another passer-by came and took a photo of my friend. I did, too, wondering when he will get tired of being in that position. At least five minutes had passed since he first adopted that position and he still hadn’t moved a twitch. How could he stay still for so long? Surely his paws would be tired by now. I tried talking to him but no avail. I thought about climbing over the fence to get to him but it wasn’t easy to do so as the fence was along the stairs so it was diagonal and I was scared of falling. In the end I gave up. Not only that but the previous time I had seen him he had run off at the very sight of me. If the kitty was upset with me, I didn’t want to push the friendship.
