The Cat at the Window
Sophie lives in a quiet street in York. She has a small house with a blue door and a little garden.
Sophie works from home. She is a graphic designer, so she spends a lot of time at her computer.
She likes working from home because her mornings are quiet. She makes coffee, turns on her computer and starts work at nine o’clock.
But this Monday morning is different.
At about ten o’clock, Sophie hears a strange sound.
«Meow.»
She stops typing.
«Meow.»
Sophie looks around the room.
«What is that?»
She gets up and walks to the window.
There is a cat outside.
The cat is sitting on the other side of the window and looking directly at her.
«Well, hello,» Sophie says.
The cat is small and orange. It has green eyes, white paws and a long tail. It also has a red collar.
Sophie opens the window a little.
«Are you lost?»
«Meow.»
«That isn’t very helpful.»
The cat looks at her.
Sophie laughs.
«Okay. Wait there.»
She goes into the kitchen. Sophie doesn’t have a cat, but she has some chicken in the fridge.
She puts a little chicken on a plate and takes it outside.
The cat immediately runs towards her.
«You are hungry!»
The cat eats all the chicken in less than a minute.
Then it follows Sophie back to the house.
«No, no,» Sophie says. «You can’t come inside. You have an owner.»
The cat sits in front of the door.
Sophie looks at its red collar.
«Maybe you have an address on your collar.»
She carefully looks at it.
There is a small silver tag.
It says:
MILO
22 Green Street
07700 315 824
«Milo! So that’s your name.»
Milo looks at her.
«And you live on Green Street.»
Sophie knows Green Street. It is only five minutes from her house.
She takes her phone and calls the number on the tag.
A woman answers almost immediately.
«Hello?»
«Hi. Is this Milo’s owner?»
There is a short silence.
«Milo? Do you have Milo?»
«Yes. He’s in my garden.»
«Oh, thank goodness! Is he okay?»
«Yes, he’s fine. And he’s definitely not hungry anymore.»
The woman laughs.
«I’m so sorry. Milo is always hungry.»
«My name is Sophie. I live on King Street.»
«I’m Rachel. I live very close to you. I can come and get him now.»
«Great. We’ll wait for you.»
Sophie ends the call and looks at Milo.
«Your owner is coming.»
Milo walks to the door again.
«No. You’re staying outside.»
Milo looks up at her with his big green eyes.
Five minutes later, Sophie is sitting at her desk again.
Milo is sitting next to her computer.
Sophie looks at him.
«You are very good at getting what you want.»
Milo closes his eyes and starts to sleep.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rings.
Sophie opens the door.
A young woman is standing outside. She has long dark hair and a worried face.
«Milo!»
Milo comes to the door.
Rachel picks him up.
«I’m so happy to see you! Where were you?»
Milo says nothing.
«He was at my window,» Sophie explains.
Rachel looks at the cat.
