One day he realized that he wanted a human friend someone he could love, make a home with his special with his special power was that he could talk, nobody knew he could talk because he was afraid no one would accept him. "I wish I had a friend I could talk to maybe a little boy or a girl". Orangie Black said as he passed a house with a little boy sitting on the porch "Come here kitty". The little boy said. Orangie Black looked over and saw the little boy and thought is that little boy talking to me? "Come here kitty". The little said again. Orangie Black looked around to see if anyone else was around, Orangie Black decided to walk to the little boy, the little boy noticed the cat's fur was orange and his legs were black. "What's your name"? the little boy asked as he petted the cat. Orangie Black started purring he was happy because a human was actually petting him. "My name is Andrew Parson". He told the cat. "You are a cute cat". He told the cat. "Andrew time to eat". His mom told him from the porch window/ "You better go now before my mom and dad come because they don't like cats". Andrew told the cat. Orangie Black was proud he met a human that noticed him, but then again the little boy's last words were all he could think that his mom and dad don't like cats. "Great if his mom and don't like cats how am I supposed to make a home and live with Andrew"? He asked himself as he made his way down Friendly. Andrew was eating dinner when his mom noticed he looked a little down "What's Wrong with my little boy"? His mom asked with concern. '"Mom can I have a cat"? He asked. "Andrew honey you know me and your dad doesn't like cats! Because they scratch you and they jump on things". She exclaimed.'. "But mom I know that but I really want a cat and I will take care and train it". He replied. "Andrew you are only eight years old and you are not old enough for responsibility for a cat or do a simple chore me or your father ask you to do". She said. "Mom if I can prove to you I can do my chores can I please get a cat"? He asked. "I don't know Andrew because I and your dad really don't like cats". She replied. "What's all the talk about"?
