It was Sunday morning. I played with my lovely cats as usual. I had 10 cats at home. As I was patting my favourite cat Mike on my bed, I discovered a well-designed book about cats on my desk. &ldquo;Is that book mine?&rdquo; I soliloquized.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Out of curiosity, I opened the book. &ldquo;Wow! It&rsquo;s a nice book.&rdquo; I whispered. The book was about the kingdom of cats and the history of the kingdom.Then, I went on reading and Mike jumped up onto my thigh, laying comfortably and purring.<\/p>\n<p>All of a sudden, Mike and I were absorbed by the book and fainted.<br \/>After a while, I woke up. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Where are we?&rdquo; I asked.<\/p>\n<p>I rubbed my eyes and stood up. Seeing that Mike was taller than me and he could talk, I cried out,<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Why can you talk? It&rsquo;s just amazing!&rdquo; <br \/>&ldquo;Now, you are in the Kingdom of Cats. It&rsquo;s not that I&rsquo;m speaking human language, but it&rsquo;s you who can listen to cats language and you are talking in cats language!&rdquo; Mike explained. <\/p>\n<p>As I looked around with excitement, all cats walked with two legs like human beings. Some cats stared at me as they passed along and made me feel afraid.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Listen! It&rsquo;s no good for you to stay here for long because you will be turned into a little cat gradually and never go back to your world. We must leave here as soon as possible.&rdquo; Mike warned me.<br \/>&ldquo;Although I&rsquo;m a cat lover, I&hellip; I don&rsquo;t want to lose my parents and friends.&rdquo;&nbsp; I cried.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;In a hurry, we asked someone for the way to escape. My fingers were changing into paws. Luckily, we knew that the magic door in the Cat Witch&rsquo;s house could help us. The house was on the highest mountain in the world. As time passed,&nbsp; a tail was grown at my back. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Hurry up! Meow.&rdquo; I hissed to Mike and I talked like a cat too. <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;Finally, we spent hours to climb up the hill and reached the old, ugly hut. Suddenly, the front door of the house opened and a strong wind pulled us into the hut. We saw an ugly and old cat sitting on a chair.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What do you two come for?&rdquo; She yelled.<br \/>&ldquo;Would you lend us your magic&hellip; door and let us go back to our world?&rdquo; I murmured. <br \/>&ldquo;You two nasty creatures! If you are willing to be my slaves, I may consider what you have said.&rdquo; She shouted.<\/p>\n<p>Helplessly, we agreed. Every day, we cleaned the house and did whatever the witch ordered. But still, she didn&rsquo;t lend me the magic door. And my face was changed into a cat&rsquo;s. I was anxious until one day, I discovered that the magic door was locked while I was cleaning the floor along the corridor. If I got the key, Mike and I could escape.<\/p>\n<p>One day, as the witch was sleeping soundly on her bed, Mike and I stole the key for the magic door from her pocket. We tip-toed to the last room of the corridor and we tried to open the door. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Ding!&rdquo; The key slipped from my hand and it awoken the witch. She got out of her bed, seeing what was happening. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What are you two stupid creatures doing? Give me back the key!&rdquo; the witch screamed as she stepped down the stairs, going to catch us.<br \/>&ldquo;Quick!&rdquo; whispered Mike. I used my shaking hand to pick up the key and tried to open the old big door.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Stop it! Or I&rsquo;ll kill you!&rdquo; the witch yelled. She was moving closer and closer, but I was still opening the door.<br \/>&ldquo;Click-clack!&rdquo; The door opened. Mike quickly jumped into the door and so did I. As the witch was so near to me, she caught my tail. I quickly kicked her and shook myself. With Mike&rsquo;s help, I finally got rid of the witch and we went back to the human world. <\/p>\n<p>Mike and I were in our own town; own house and own room again. &ldquo;What an exciting adventure!&rdquo; I sighed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I woke up that morning, I knew something was going to happen.
