Here we have a cat happily getting on with his family who decided one day to go exploring and venture further out into the world to a place he had never been.  “How exciting!” thought the cat, to be able to step out of his comfort zone and broaden his horizons.  He was happy where he was but he wanted adventure and to seek out that which he knew was out there but hadn’t ever had the nerve to go see it before.

And so one day he set off into the bush and decided to walk and walk until he found what was on the other side of all of these trees.

The sky was blue, the sun was warm, the birds were singing – it was the perfect day to trot out.  After a sumptuous breakfast, our Simba headed out through his cat flap and set off.  He looked both ways as he approached the end of the path – no cars anywhere in sight.  The road was clear.  He tentatively put his right paw onto the bitumen, then quickly looking back to his home he put the other paw out and he was off over the stony ground that was warming as the sun rose.

“Yes, a very pleasant day for a walk,” he thought, and off he bounded into the trees and away along the path well worn by adventurers who had gone before him.

At the edge of the woods, there were several houses and he spied one that felt good to him even from this distance.  The door was open and so in he went searching, sniffing, taking in all of these lovely new smells.  He went through another door and saw a very welcome sunlit patch on a well-worn couch – “Ah that looks inviting,” he said to himself f – “It has been a long walk this morning.”  So up he jumped, circled around and settled down with the warm sun bearing down upon the best spot he could find.  Soon he was fast asleep.

After a while he became aware of someone watching him.  Sleepily he opened his eyes, he could not sense any danger, therefore his movements were slow and drawn out.  He looked around and saw human legs in his forward vision.  Looking up he saw a kind smile in a face that seemed to be surrounded by a circle of light.  Sure enough there was Shirley – and he knew he was safe.   “Hello pussy cat, where have you come from?  So.  You like our couch huh?  Would you like something to drink?”
