On the very first day in the new place, the man managed to fall ill — high fever, stuffy nose, bad cough. All he could do was collapse onto the bed and try to sleep.
But the cat clearly didn’t like the idea of him sleeping. As soon as the man got somewhat comfortable, he heard the cat crying loudly. The cat was yowling non-stop, so the man, gathering the last of his strength, dragged himself to the kitchen, filled the cat’s bowl with food, and poured fresh water. But the moment he returned to the room, the cat’s cries resumed with the same intensity.
