Rascal was sitting on the windowsill, looking sadly out the window. Grandma Calico was gone. She had gone to the other side of the rainbow where all cats go when their time in this life has come to an end. Rascal began writing in his diary. He knew that Grandma was happy and free from the disease. Philosopher was reading a book. Lumby did not understand the situation but he could feel the sadness of all the other cats. He was lying near the window, observing a fly on the window taking an autumn sun bath. Sofia was crying in the corner of the room; Dandy was comforting Snow. Bunny was sad too, knowing that he would never again hear all those interesting stories about the old times that Grandma Calico used to tell them.
Philosopher closed his book and made his way over to Rascal. It might be a good idea for us to take a little walk outside. Help us to get our minds off of our sadness. What do you think, brother?
I think that's a very good idea, Philosopher. Sofia is not handling Grandma Calico's absence well at all. I think a little adventure might be a good thing today.
