An orange cat,Meca, was running and hiding around the dark forest, her heart was pounding because something scary was chasing her.

It was a sunny morning on the roadside where Meca lived. Meca is a stray orange cat with big, green eyes. She is very clever and smart. She always wishes that someone could love her.

Today was Meca’s fifth birthday, so she gave herself a fish as her birthday present. It was the most delicious food she had ever had. "I loved it!” she said.  Suddenly, she saw someone wearing a black hoodie, pants, shoes, gloves, and a mask. He made her feel scared.

 At first, she thought it was just an illusion, but then it started to move. "What on earth is that?!" she thought.  Was it a monster, an alien, or a UFO? Her heart was pounding. She kept telling herself it was just a dream. She kept telling herself to wake up! But it didn’t work. She tried to pinch herself. She could feel it. This was not a dream. It was a true nightmare! Meca took a walk to the park. There were lots of people, and she saw President Yishin! She was thrilled when she saw him because President Yishin was a good person. Do you know why? Because he was the one who told everyone to stop hunting cats.

While Meca was listening to the presentation made by President Yishin, her heart was pounding again. Why? Because a strange figure once again appeared in her sight. It was still wearing a black hoodie, pants, shoes, gloves, and a mask. She felt anxious. She noticed that the black figure was observing her. She started to run away from the mysterious figure. The black figure didn’t chase after her. She thought she was safe.

The next day was a rainy day. Meca’s best friend, Meni, told Meca that she had heard President Yishin paid 100,000,000 US dollars to hire the iconic Cat Hunter, Adam, to hunt for cats. Meca’s heart was broken. Just yesterday, she was giving President Yishin praise. However, Meca hated him today because of that shocking news.

Meca was frustrated by the news. She rean in a newspaper that a red and a yellow cat had been killed by the Cat Hunter, Adam. They were Meca’s parents. Meca was very angry about that. She couldn’t forgive Adam. She had to make him pay for what he did to her parents, but she was too weak to fight Adam. Hour after hour, more and more cats were killed by Adam.

That night, after the shocking news, many more cats were killed by Adam. Meca was scared because she thought someone was tracking her. She feared heavily that she would be kidnapped the next day. As she was about to sleep, she realized that Meni had been right—President Yishin was hunting for cats. She was too exhausted, so she fell asleep.

After Meca had a good sleep, she woke up to the bright sunlight. She was hungry, so she went to the river to hunt for fish. As she walked through the forest, she felt alone. Everything seemed darker than usual, and she noticed something hiding. When Meca approached, the black figure jumped out. It was Adam!
