We Are All Animals1 .Communicate With The Cat(YAP 20)

The first time i saw the grey cat,he was wondering in our dining room in Eton Hall.I thought he was wondering for food.He was lucky because I had a whole fish in my dish.Then I move the fish with a plastic bag to an open place,he followed me because every step I move, I managed to let him smell the fish. Then I put the fish down and walked away. I just hoped I could see him eat up the whole fish happily that time. But he never ate, he just looked at me, a strange creature standing several metres away. Then I started to beg him to eat from deep inside my heart, because I found that he was so thin and just wanted him to be healthier. At that moment ,a green leaf fell down on the land between us, breaking the silence. And then, the cat started to talk.
C(short for cat):Man, I think I can take this fish now. A moment ago, I looked into your eyes, and I know that you really want me good. So this is not a poisonous fish, right?
M(short fot me):Poisonous fish??How come?
C:A ha,you don't understand, some people want us cats to die. And not only we cats are suffering, also the other spieces of creatures.
M:Oh, I understand. We humans haven't treated you well.
C:Yes, that's the point. It seems you always feel that you're the master of the world. But God has told me,you're not! And we are all animals.
M:I regret, but I can't help, those who hunted for wild animals can never stopped by me. By the way, you're a prophet in your world, aren't you?
C:I'm not. Actually, everyone of us has formed an idea about human beings. And now I suddenly remenbered a sad story told by an ant. Her whole family was destroyed by a human child. She said they had never bothered humans, why they were killed in such a cruel way? She said they never hate the other creatures who want to eat them, because those creatures also want to survive. But, humans, what do they kill us for?? The ant told me this, her eyes filling with tears.
M:Oh, no, I'm so sorry for that. I can feel that, the child killed them for fun. How can we kill the other creatures no for our own survival, but just for fun?? I'm very sad this moment... I just can't help... I'm sorry... And I had to go now,take the fish and be careful with your own health. I will go and tell the other people all these things. Hope tomorrow will be better. Bye...
C:Good luck.
End.

  1. I can't agree more.We human beings are also animals according to our biology textbook~~~I think, we human beings should make friends with other animals.We should treat them well because in the present time,we human beings take up large quantities of resources which ought to be used by all species.Therefore,we should take good care of other animals to pay for the resources that belongs to other animals.

  2. Hi Jindun this is a great insight into human nature and wonderfully written as a piece of dialogue. You have given thoughts and feelings to our 'brothers and sisters'. Rightly said, food is a necessity. However, we must be discerning in how we treat animals - they and us complement each other. I have a very nice little dog. He is 10 years old and his name is KING.
