An old cat scared his Masters when he got sick and went into the woods

TEST

– Have you seen Tisha? – Antonina Stepanovna worried asked her husband.

Tisha lived with the family for 15 years. As a young man, the cat stood outside all day, looking for a mate. When he grew up, Tisha continued to take walks outdoors, but returned home to sleep. Night absences have been less and less frequent.

– This morning I saw him ask me for a sausage and as soon as he ate it he ran off into the street,” the man replied.

As soon as he opened the door, Tisha quietly entered the room. The cat had lost weight, was covered with mud and tangles of wool, but he looked at his mistress with dignity and pride.

The reason for pride was immediately obvious: the kitten, very similar to Tishka, crumpled on the threshold, hesitating to enter the House.

The kitten did not know whether to run away or follow his guide, but the cat no longer paid attention to him, demanding the food assigned to him by the master.
