Synopsis

This is a gentle story with no violence or sadness, but full of adventure, and suitable for all ages, but especially children. It is written because of the love we have for our own cat, Midnight, who has a similar life story.

Chapter One: Kittenhood

A sweet black cat with fur so sleek,

Soft and shiny, hardly a creak.

She prowls at night, through the dark she'll creep,

But for cuddles and love, she's always yours to keep.

Midnight's world began in a garden oasis, a verdant sanctuary amidst the concrete jungle. Born to a stray mother, she emerged into a realm of fragrant blossoms and rustling leaves, blissfully unaware of the human domain that encroached upon her idyllic existence.

As the tiny black kitten opened her eyes to the wonders around her, she instinctively knew this secret garden was a place of safety and abundance. She frolicked amidst the dancing wildflowers, chasing butterflies and stalking insects with the guileless curiosity of youth. The gentle melodies of birdsong and the warmth of the sun's rays caressed her silken ebony fur as she grew sleeker and more adventurous with each passing day.

Midnight spent her first days in the garden, exploring every nook and cranny with wide-eyed wonder. She chased after butterflies, pounced on unsuspecting blades of grass, and basked in the warm sunlight that filtered through the canopy of trees above. Her fur glistened like satin under the dappled light, a sleek coat of ebony that matched the midnight sky she had been named after.
