“The Ghost Cat”
Simon was a tabby cat, grey and white fur, honey-colored eyes and a melancholy look. He roamed the streets of the neighborhood like a ghost, invisible to the eyes of most. It wasn’t that it was really invisible, but people just ignored it like it didn’t exist. He walked unnoticed between the legs of passers-by, rubbing his ankles with his soft fur, without anyone being immuted.
The few who saw it, watched it with suspicion, as if it were a bad omen. Some whispered it was a stray cat bringing bad luck. Others called him a demon or a soul in sorrow. Simon didn’t understand why such indifference. I just longed for a caress, a kind word, a gesture of affection.
Her life ran between loneliness and abandonment. He slept in cold alleys, curled up in cardboard boxes or under the shade of a tree. Her only consolation was the company of the stars on full moon nights.
One day, while watching the kids play in the park, Simon felt a ting of sadness. He had also been a playful kitten, full of energy and dreams. But life had made him a lonely and hopeless being.
As time went by, Simon got weaker. Her dull fur and her dark eyes reflected the hardness of her life. One morning, he woke up without strength, laying on the sidewalk. Her body couldn’t hold on any longer.
He died alone, without a helping hand to comfort him, without a last breath of affection. Her soul, finally free, soared into heaven, leaving behind a body that was never recognized by humanity.
Simon’s story is a reflection of the indifference with which we often treat the animals around us. Creatures that, like us, feel pain, loneliness and yearn for love. His death is a reminder that compassion and empathy should know no limits, and that everyone, even an invisible cat, deserves to be treated with respect and affection…
