18: Moonstone

When Moonstone saw others being taken by families she began to hope. But after months of no interest or interest lost after talking to one of the tall ones that took care of her and the others, she lost hope. She eventually stopped trying. She even kept her back to the glass. She heard tapping on the glass, not unusual especially from the short ones, some were doing it to annoy or get her attention. She turned to look, she started to turn back but something was different. She couldn't explain it. She was curious, she gingerly walked up to the glass. Suddenly the short one said her name, she was startled not even the tall ones who took care of her knew her name. She started mimicking what the other cats who got adopted did.

The tall one walked away leaving the short one behind. Every previous time that happened the tall one usually took the short one with it leaving her behind. She still couldn't figure out why this short one seemed unusual.
