Chapter 21

Nikki looked around. Where was she? In a room, with windows all around, a few cat trees, and toys everywhere. Other cats hid away in holes and in their beds and eyed her mysteriously. Outside of the windows, humans gawked and fussed over them.
"Can't a cat get any privacy," Nikki thought to herself. An orange- white tortiseshell soon approached her.
"Hi," she said. "What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Nikki. Where am I?" Nikki asked.
"I'm Lucky, but I'm not lucky. You're at the pound," she explained.
"Well, what do you do at the pound," Nikki asked.
"You wait here, and hope to get adopted," Lucky explained.
"Adopted?" Nikki asked.
"It's when a new owner comes to get you," Lucky explained.
"Will I ever see my old place again," Nikki asked.
"No. Never. If you're lucky, someone else who is actually willing to care for you will take you, but you'll never end up in the same place again," Lucky explained.
"I got to get out of here!" Nikki said, freaking out.
"You can't. The humans have a way of keeping you from escaping."
"I have friends! I can't leave them!"
"Sorry, but it won't happen." With that, Lucky climbed up the cat tree and scratched. Nikki walked over to try the food. Yuck.
"This is my bed, got a problem," a purebred Siamese said rudely when Nikki walked by his bed.
"Back off," Nikki challenged.
"Nikki, don't!" Lucky warned.
Nikki and the Siamese stared at each other in the eye for what seemed like hours. Before they knew it, they were tumbling and screaming, trying to kill each other.
"Hey, hey! Stop it you two!" a pound worker said as she walked in, trying to break up the fight. Finally she pulled the two cats away from each other, but kept Nikki in her hand.
"You are just a naughty little kitty! We'll just have to separate you two," she said. Nikki did not understand a word and only swatted in her face.
She placed Nikki inside an empty room with another tortiseshelled cat, only this one was named Tortie and had black and orange fur.
"Hi," she said. "You locked up too?"
"Yeah. All because some stuck-up Siamese thought I was trying to steal his spot when I was just walking past him."
"Purebreds," she replied.
"What got you isolated," Nikki asked, realizing soon after that she probably shouldn't have asked that.
"Purebred Berman attacked me in my sleep, and the humans thought I was the attacker when I only defended myself," she explained.
"Why are you so sad, Tortie," Nikki asked.
"Tomorrow is my last day here at the pound," she sighed.
"What's so bad about that?" Nikki asked.
"No, I'm not getting adopted," she explained. "If I'm lucky, I'll get adopted, but chances are low. If no one adopts me, I'm going to be put to sleep."
"What does that mean," Nikki asked.
"They put a mask on you, and it generates a special gas that makes you really tired and you go to sleep," she explained.
"What's so bad about going to sleep," Nikki asked.
"You don't wake up," Tortie revealed.
"What?!

Chapter 22

"Yeah. They do it to make room for more cats," Tortie explained. " You get 2 months, and if you aren't adopted in that time, you are put down."
"Well that's dumb! How are we supposed to get adopted if they kill us when we don't get adopted? It isn't our fault!" Nikki said exasperated.
"I know, but there's nothing you can do about it," Tortie sighed. "Until then, I'll just have to play with my toys." Nikki didn't reply, and just slinked away into the only cat tree.

The Next Morning
"Goodbye, Nikki," Tortie said between her tears.
"What's happening, Tortie," Nikki asked.
"Don't you remember? I'm getting put to sleep today!" she cried. They hugged each other for a long time, until the human approached the room, just as Tortie had anticpated.
"Hide!" Nikki warned.
"No," Tortie protested sadly. "There's no use. They'll find me anyway. There's no escaping my fate."
Nikki got in front of Tortie, and swatted and hissed at the human. However, he only bumped her with the net, picked up Tortie, and walked into a room down the hall.
"Tortie!" Nikki cried. Tortie didn't answer.
The human closed the door behind him. Nikki could still see all of the activity that was going on. He closed the curtains to it, so that no one could see inside, but Nikki could still hear and smell the stuff that was going on. She began to hear a strange, breathing noise- but it sounded- mechanical, like it was coming from a gas mask or something. Soon after, she smelled an odd smell, she couldn't describe it. She felt somewhat woozy, but was wide awake still. She heard a cry from Tortie- and that was it. The strange breathing noise stopped, and the smell slowly went away. The realization of what had just happened finally hit her.
"Tortie! TORTIE!!!" she cried, but it was useless. Tortie was already gone. The gas had already put her into the nap that would never end.

A month and a half passed. She didn't have much time left, but Nikki didn't care. She had lost interest in her life weeks ago. There was no one to keep her company, no one who loved her. The times she saw the humans were when they refilled her food and water, and changed the litter in the box she never used. She knew she was never going to see her friends again.
But one day, a human came up to her room. It was a young boy, about 4, who was pointing and whining- at Nikki? A worker then showed up, unlocked her room, and the boy came in. The worker and the woman with the boy stayed outside talking in their gibberish.
The boy approached loudly, and tried to grab Nikki. Being a feral cat by nature, she was very skittish and hid away in a corner. Suddenly, the boy grabbed her tail and yanked it towards him.
"Watch it, buddy," Nikki warned, swatting at the boy. He ignored her, most likely as her voice only came out in a meow, and grabbed her abdomen.
"That's it," Nikki shouted, jumping onto the boy's face and attacking him. He immediately began crying, while the worker and lady stopped talking, ran over to the boy, and yanked her off of his face.

"Hey, Rainforest," Nikki cried out to a parrot in the birds section that she could see.
"Yeah," he replied.
"Could you read this red paper for me," she requested. Nikki and Rainforest were quite fond of each other.
"It says,
DANGEROUS CAT: DO NOT APPROACH. Is to be put to sleep tomorrow for viciousness and aggression," he read.
