*consider it a cry from the heart*
We had a cat in our yard, and I called her Taburetochnaya (meaning "Little Stool Cat") because she would sit on a stool that we put out for her all day long. She was a fluffy cat, but also proud – she didn't beg or steal. Her eyes were very human, and her voice wasn't like a cat's at all. She would kind of talk, saying "mrya-mi-mi-mya-mrya," which was like her way of saying hello and that she was glad to see you. She was a very smart and kind creature... Taburetochnaya was run over by a car... We are all grieving, even me... It's not that I don't have family... But this cat never criticized or scolded me; she just seemed happy to see me, and she loved me and other good people... What kind of a vile person would do such a thing...? People can be such monsters! What harm do cats do to them? Recently, a cyclist almost ran over a cat on purpose; he was laughing as the cat ran away from under the wheels. I almost punched him in the face, but he rode away, and thankfully (I don't want to spend 15 days in jail), it ended with me just yelling at him. People were tormenting cats with dogs until I intervened... What kind of creatures are they? Am I like that? Who is the real human being here? So why shouldn't I follow their example and strangle them, just as they destroy innocent animals? And besides, these cat-haters are GUILTY of the cats' fate! We all condemn the fascists for destroying people because they were of a different race... How are cat-haters any better? Why doesn't anyone protect animals, even though this cat was a hundred times better than some people? I've decided that I won't stand by and watch; I simply don't have the moral right to do so. I would lose respect for myself if I could tolerate this injustice. It's so sad... Of course, I can't bring Taburetochnaya back... it's so sad...
If any of the cat-haters read this and don't change their attitude towards life, I hope there is a God in this world, and he won't leave this unpunished. And I won't let it go unpunished, as much as I can.
