CHARLIE'S
AUTOBIOGRAPHY
CHAPTER TWO
Then one day a very strange thing happened. The two younger adults put me in a box and put me in the car. I had been on car rides before, but there was something different about this one. I could hear Sophie scratching and whining nearby. I could tell by her sound that she was very afraid. So for Sophie's sake , I tried to be as brave as I could.
The car stopped and we went into a strange building that smelled very unusual. My humans were talking to another human and were saying something about allergies. I never heard of anyone having allergies in our family, and they were using that tone of voice that they always used when they were trying to fool someone.
The new human opened the box, took one look at me and said "Oh!, He's a big one. It will be very hard to place one this big. You know we only keep them for one month before we dispose of them." My humans said that would be fine and after filling out a few papers, disappeared out the door.
The new human took me into a room filled with cages of all sizes. I was put into one of the large cages. Sophie was put in a cage next to mine. That night was awful. It was so dark, and all of the cages had cats in them. Some even held two.
All of the cats were crying. I tried to tell Sophie not to be afraid, but she wouldn't listen. I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. I just squirmed and squirmed. The crying finally got to me. I broke down and started crying too. I cried all night long.
