who decided one day to go exploring and venture further out into the world to a place he had never been.\u00a0 \u201cHow exciting!\u201d thought the cat, to be able to step out of his comfort zone and broaden his horizons. \u00a0He was happy where he was but he wanted adventure and to seek out that which he knew was out there but hadn\u2019t ever had the nerve to go see it before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The sky was blue, the sun was warm, the birds were singing \u2013 it was the perfect day to trot out.\u00a0 After a sumptuous breakfast, our Simba headed out through his cat flap and set off.\u00a0 He looked both ways as he approached the end of the path \u2013 no cars anywhere in sight.\u00a0 The road was clear.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, a very pleasant day for a walk,\u201d he thought, and off he bounded into the trees and away along the path well worn by adventurers who had gone before him.<\/p>\n<p>At the edge of the woods, there were several houses and he spied one that felt good to him even from this distance.\u00a0 The door was open and so in he went searching, sniffing, taking in all of these lovely new smells.\u00a0 He went through another door and saw a very welcome sunlit patch on a well-worn couch \u2013 \u201cAh that looks inviting,\u201d he said to himself f \u2013 \u201cIt has been a long walk this morning.\u201d\u00a0 So up he jumped, circled around and settled down with the warm sun bearing down upon the best spot he could find.\u00a0 Soon he was fast asleep.<\/p>\n<p>After a while he became aware of someone watching him.\u00a0 Sleepily he opened his eyes, he could not sense any danger, therefore his movements were slow and drawn out.\u00a0 He looked around and saw human legs in his forward vision.\u00a0 Looking up he saw a kind smile in a face that seemed to be surrounded by a circle of light.\u00a0 Sure enough there was Shirley \u2013 and he knew he was safe.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cHello pussy cat, where have you come from?\u00a0 So.\u00a0 You like our couch huh?\u00a0 Would you like something to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>End Part 1<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading my blog.<br \/>\nPlease comment below and share my link.<\/p>\n<p><a
