Cat!

A little writing task !! The early morning light cast a stunning sapphire hue on the pavements, only occasionally broken by the warm glow of the only streetlamp. The stone roads were wet from the previous night's rainfall, and the small plants escaping the cracks of the stone floor glistened in the morning dew. I stared up at the sky, the blue slowly being replaced by orange and pink clouds, and I let out a satisfied sigh.  

  

That’s when I heard a scuttling noise from behind. I slowly turned around to see a small ball of fur down below me. With all that onyx fur I could only make out two emerald eyes. A cat, it seemed. It was strange to see the little creature approach me so suddenly, and so assertively too. Alas, I found my hand slowly reaching down to greet the cat.  

  

The cold sensation of its little nose made me smile to myself. After a few moments of sniffing my hand, I was blessed with a positive response. Within moments, the little black cat rubbed against my hand, nuzzling into me. It was a perfect feeling; the cat had the silkiest fur imaginable 

  

The cat left as soon as it came, and dawn eventually turned to dusk. But, despite the ever-changing sky, the cold winters, and the rainy evenings, the cat continued to visit me every day.
