Lion and the Bird

When we moved into the house from an apartment, Lion had ever seen were those outside the apartment window. The house had a closed in patio so the cats could go out on the patio whenever they wanted. There was also a way for birds to get on the patio (we didn’t know it).

One day Lion was on the patio, when a bird got into the patio. Lion chased the bird and Lion caught the bird. Once in Lion’s mouth the bird stopped struggling, so Lion didn’t bit down very hard. Lion looked up at my mother, as if to say “What do I do with this now?”

Once he caught the bird, Lion didn’t know what to do next. Mom said, “Drop the bird!” Lion opened his mouth and the bird flew out. Mom picked up Lion and put him in the house. Next, she opened the patio screen door and the bird flew away.

Lion’s Last Day

Lion was on the couch and I was sitting at the computer. I heard an odd noise come from the couch so I went to see what was wrong. Lion was just lying there. I pick him up to see what was wrong. I picked Lion up and (I think) he tried to purr. As I held him, Lion died in my arms.
