Cat escapee

Once in October last year we needed to make an operation to our dog on her diseased adnexa. I took a role of driver, we put an old coat on the back seat of our car, Erda, the dog, was arranged on this seat being wrapped by another old coat and we started.
 
When we got to veterinary office, Erda was taken into and had an injection of anesthetic. The dog was lying at the dog-pillow waiting the medicine to take effect accompanied by my wife and her sister. I decided to go outside sat into my car waiting for forty minutes to pass promised by doctors.

Meanwhile my attention was attracted by two ladies who came on the luxuries BMW-coupe and braked sharply near the gates of veterinary office. The two were presumably mother and her daughter looking as luxuries as the car was. They jammed out of the auto doors and rushed to the veterinary with a tom-cat bundled into a rug. Suddenly the rug moved and the cat dropped out and hided himself under the car.

- Smokie, kitty-kitty-kitty, please go out – ladies called.

The cat, apparently sensing something was wrong, did not want to go from under the car for anything.

- Let me start the engine and you try to catch Smokie – the older lady said.

As the engine started the cat rushed from beneath the auto, junior lady failed to catch it and Smokie ran away about five meters and began to look on his hostesses with widely opened eyes.

- It is your fault – the older lady proclaimed. The younger lady began to argue, that it's too hard to catch this beast, both of them began to entice the tom-cat but Smokie went under the fence and disappeared in the neighborly yard. A moment later it was expeled away by another cat being twice as big as Smokie was and very angry about such an uninvited guest.

Smokie ran away to another side of the street, the master tom-cat decided not to pursue him, so Smokie has sat under a tree looking at ladies with widely opened eyes.

All ladys' attempts to catch the tom-cat ended in failure. As they were approaching the cat it went away leaving no less than ten meters distance, escaping. Finely it disappeared on the next street.

- Let's use an auto, we'll catch up it – the older lady said – come on sit into the car!

Ten minutes later ladies came back disappointed, their faces no more were aggressive, they were desperate.

- I told you to use a collar, you said it is a tame cat…

- I had no idea it would become a beast. And how this animal knew he was to castrate I wonder.

"Oh, I understand what has happened" – I thought. This cat was not so simple; it realized his future and made a right choice. It didn't want to become a cat who wouldn't know the joy of owning a cat of the opposite sex. It knew that his life now and on becomes dangerous and wild. Nobody will give it anything free. I saw wild cats fighting for a piece of dry bread.

- Now, where is your cat? It's high time to make an operation, Ivan Ilyich has just called – a surgeon went out of a door.

- We have changed our mind – ladies snorted angrily and somehow offended, almost in one voice.

Both ladies  jumped into the car and dashed away, kicking up the dust of the country street, where their beloved Smokie has now become an inhabitant, it has gained freedom, lost a well-fed quiet life, but has not lost it's male feline dignity.
