Salim's Cats

Writing Challenge #13: An Interview with Salim about the Loss of his Cats.

Tara: I was very sorry to hear you lost some pets last month. Can you describe what happened?Salim: Well,cats are curious and that's what kills them.I used to have fourteen cats. A few weeks ago,one of them started to vomit and hid himself. Then,I found him dead the next day.The same happened with three other ones even if I took them to a vet he couldn't find the sickness.Tara: How are you feeling now?Salim: I'm so sad,because I raised them since their first days on earth.You feel as if you lost a part of yourself.Tara: Do you have any advice for cat owners?Salim: Yes,always look after them. Never let them get in some place where they can find unhealthy stuff.Tara: What was the most difficult part about this loss?Salim: They used to make a lot of sweet noise while playing,they used to enter from the balcony,the windows. But now,all these things are over.Tara: You must be an animal lover if you have that many kitties. Can you tell us about your other pets?Salim: I have a canary,a turtle,some pigeons,and so many goldfinches because they are so popular here.Thank you Salim for agreeing to take part in this interview. May your beloved kitties rest in peace.*Photo courtesy of Salim
