What Exactly A Cat Is..... Part-III

                                                III:: As Every Cat Owner Knows, Nobody Owns A Cat.....

The siblings, Rosa and Tiger cat, have taken a place in my heart. I always felt that they somehow understood my feelings---the feelings that nobody around me seemed to ever understand. I have always loved both cats and dogs equally, but today as I was coming home from school, my impression about dogs changed, or more like shattered. This is what happened... 

My mom was near the gate, sweeping away the dry leaves that had taken a major part of my courtyard. I could see her figure from far away, near the junction from which I always entered the van and went to school. There was a group of dogs and I was very confident as I passed through them, I never understood why, but one of the dogs simply barked. Then everything happened in a flash of a second. the whole pack charged at me. I was confused as to what I really should do. I saw my mother running towards me--- even from far away, her frantic expression was clearly visible. I tried to run, but the dogs formed a circle around me and I was trapped. The woman in the nearby house came for my rescue and shooed away the stray dogs. I felt that I could fall on the road at any moment from now as my legs were shaking frantically. My mom smiled and said it was okay. I thought she did that to comfort me. but actually nothing happened. When I reached my home, I plunged my school bag onto the sofa and sat there. I stared blankly into space while my mom scolded my brother for not coming to pick me. Suddenly, a hatred--- or more, a revenge-like feeling filled me. I really got angry and I thought that if it was a group of cats, then they would have never attacked me. Fury filled inside me. This had happened to me when I was 11.But, ever since after the incident, whenever a stray dog passed by me, I glared at him--- my eyes filled with revenge.
This incident also increased my love for cats. I was also more like a cat myself---- hate dogs, love the nights and I also loved the idea of walking over the rooftops and leaping onto other roofs like an assassin... Once, when I looked what I was in my past, they said that I was the King of Cats in Egypt. Pretty Fascinating right? But that was the before-life that I always believed in. 
I really like the three cats who were now my best friends (along with Isabella)----Rosa, Tiger and their mother. Then came a big twist in my life..... The mother cat... she died. That really saddened me and I was confused as to what I really should do. 
That evening, Rosa sat with me and I suddenly saw her tears filling up her eyes. I thought (and I still do) that, that was my imagination or it was just my face being reflected in her emerald eyes. I felt very disappointed. Then I felt like I should take the responsibility of these two cats (they are cats now, not a kitten). I looked at Rosa, into her deep eyes---which I felt, was filled with innocence--- and I promised her, I will take care of you and would be by your side forever.
Tears trickled through my cheeks when I thought of her mother. That cat, she was by my side yesterday------on yesterday's evening. Then I felt something warm against my elbow---ehich layed limp by my both sides. I looked over and saw Rosa resting her warm face against me. I felt very happy and surprised too---on the fact that hoe she understood that I needed someone to soothe me right now...

'Yes...' I thought 'a cat is someone who chooses their master, nobody owns them until they wish for it... Maybe Rosa had chosen me.' That thought made me merriful that I actually orgot about all my other worries. I put an arm around her and took in a deep breath.
