She adjusted his bowtie and gave him a kiss.  In most instances a thank you or i love you would have been a standard responce.  But not in Ava's case, she revieved a great big MEOW!  To Ava though a meow was just as good as a kiss or perhaps even better.

Ever since she was a little girl Ava possessed this strong and unusual obsession with cats.  As a little girl she would sit in class and draw cats on her assignments and at one point she even reached a point where she would no longer speak only meow.  Then she moved to high school and started to become a little more normal.  Well at least until Halloween came around and what do you no Ava dressed up like a cat.  After high school Ava went to world at an animal shelter, specifically the cat department.  All was well and Ava was as happy with her life as she could be until she got fired for stealing a cat from the shelter.

Ava took loosing her job hard for awhile and then she came to terms with the fact that she had Mr. Tom and that and was all she would ever need.  She and Mr.Tom would sit in their cardboard box of a house just down the ally from McDonald's, all day.  Ava would dress him up and put bow ties on him and brush him and Mr. Tom just put up with it.  Not once did he ever scratch her or hiss at her or try to run away.  It was like he understood that he was Ava's only friend in the whole world and with out him she would have nothing.

Now there is one thing to remember and that is that Mr. Tom was a boy and boy cats have certain needs that must be met.  So,late at night, when Ava was sound asleep Mr. Tom would make his way down the ally to the McDonald's dumpster, where he was sure to find some fine feline female looking to have a good time. 

It was after one of these late night escapades when Mr. Tom was heading home when suddenly he was blinded by a bright light and then suddenly there was nothing.  Mr. Tom had been ran over by a  garbage truck.

When Ava awoke the next morning to find Mr.Tom gone she was scared.  She frantically ran up and down her ally yelling "Mr. Tom, Mr. Tom where are you.  After an hours worth of yelling and searching Ava made her way to the Sherifs office. She walked through the door and approached an officer standing there "Excuse me sir, I am looking for my cat" Ava said with just a hint of hope in her voice that the officer might Know something about Mr. Tom, "Do You know anything about him.  The officers face kind of turned white and he replied "I am sorry mam but your cat was ran over by a garbage truck early this morning."  Ava's heart sank and tears began to run down her face.  She had just lost her best and only friend in the whole world.
