My cats are a strange duo. One desperately yearns for the freedom of the outside world. The other we don’t bring outside for the fear that he’d actually have a heart attack. Cosmo and Newman were pretty much polar opposites. Newman is the one that wants freedom and Cosmo is the one that is perfectly contempt with his everyday life. Newman had light grey fur with a darker shade of fur stripes everywhere else. That is except for his paws which were white. I wanted to name him socks, but we already named one of our cats after a Seinfeld character so we had to go all in. Cosmo was all black causing him to scare me every time I accidentally step on him on my way to bed. One day, when I was six after I got home from school during a cold December day, it was perfectly normal. Except colder than usual. Eventually while sitting in the living room I noticed two cats in the yard. It was no big deal, wild cats live all around our house. However, these ones looked suspiciously familiar. Grabbing my things, I ran outside and see that my fears were correct, it was Cosmo and Newman. I ran after them and in the chaos caught Cosmo. Over the next week, I went on quite the adventure and learned a lesson along the way. The pitiful creature was panicking. The tiny cat was cold and confused. Even though I was mad that he had run away, I couldn’t help but turn on the fire to keep him warm. Zach and I had been friends for years, so I called him and he agreed to help me find Newman. When my parents

An unnamed narrator begins the story by claiming his is entirely sane, despite the narrative he is about to describe. He confesses a great love for cats and dogs, both of which, he says, respect the fidelity of friendship, unlike fellow men. The narrator marries at a young age and introduces his wife to the domestic joys of owning pets. Among birds, goldfish, a dog, rabbits, and a monkey, the narrator singles out a large and beautiful black cat, named Pluto, as his favorite. Michael Porter, an author for the website “GradeSaver”, wrote an article about The Black Cat and an analysis and overview about the story and what it means. Porter wrote a section on about the changes in the narrator when he said, “The narrator begins to suffer from violent mood swings, predominantly due to the influence of alcohol. He takes to mistreating not only the other animals but also his wife” (Porter, Web). During this uncontrollable rage, he spares only Pluto. As he turned more towards alcohol the beatings became more and more

I looked at my dog and made eye contact with his large brown eyes. Time seemed to slow down as I read his eyes like an open book. I still remember the look today, while I was laying on the couch next to him. It was the most terrifying sight I’ve ever seen. My dog, my best friend, and the only thing to trust me with everything calmly could show that he had accepted death. For me though he was still could wagging his tail for us.
