Sage Draper, Language assignment, 11-7-1977

a true story about our very smart cat

Mysterious, a cat who knew how to take care of herself.

One day when I lived in Provo, Utah, my brother, Nichol found a young cat. He asked all the neighbors if they owned or knew who owned it. All of them said, "no." So we kept the cat in our garage (because my mother doesn't like cats in the house.) We had just moved so there were a lot of boxes in the garage.

We decided to name her. We went out into the garage but we couldn't find her. We looked and looked then I saw her behind some boxes. Then we decided to name her Mysterious because she was mysterious.

We fed her milk till we had had her about a week. Then we got some cat food for her. We didn't really need it because she would go outside of the garage (it was all fields outside). Then she caught some field mice and she would catch gardner snakes and crickets.

We lived right across from the school we went to. Sometimes Mysterious would come to our school while we were there.

Once when we were in school Mysterious came and we were out at P.E. I saw her and went over there. Mysterious had caught a mouse. My friend Beth tried to take the rat from her mouth. The rat was still alive and it bit Beth's hand. We told our teacher and she put a bandaid on her sore.
