The Civet Cat Escapes

My name is Taotao, and I’m a tabby cat. The first character of my name doesn’t mean peach, mischief, or grape. It means “escape.”

When my human first adopted me, I was always trying to run away. That’s how I got my name.

My human promised she would take care of me until I died. She said that, in a place full of flowers, she would dig a grave for me and lay me in it, then plant a ring of my favorite cat grass and catnip around it…

But she broke her promise. She doesn’t want me anymore…
