Two Animals in the Forest

It was just a regular day. My owners had put me outside and minutes later they were about to take me inside until this happened… Hello! Okay bye! Gilly the cat flew right past me! I was a bit scared, so I started barking at him, but he was gone! He was so fast, all the humans started yelling. They came outside and continued to yell his name. I was so cold from being outside though, so I ran inside. When I got back in, I saw one of the humans crying. I walked over to him and let him pet me. I went over to my bed to sleep for a bit. Before I could fall asleep, I heard the humans calling Gillies name. When I woke up, the owner, who was still crying wanted to play with me. So, of course, I accepted. After we played for a bit, they let me back outside. I started looking around for Gillie. He wasn’t anywhere to be found. I knew he had to be in the woods. I went into the woods and started to look for him. The first place I checked was along the trail where my owner and I go for walks, but I couldn’t find him anywhere! Right when I was about to give up and go back to the house, I saw an orange furred cat in the woods. I ran for him. - Gillie I finally found you! What’s this? - I think it is called a grave. Said Gillie - What does it do? I asked - It is where humans’ burry dead animals or people. I think this is where Lillie is. I told him it was time to go home, but he didn’t want to leave. I explained to him that we still have humans to love and that I would be there for him no matter what. I will always be his friend. He agreed and when we turned to go home, we realized our humans were already there waiting.
