On a sunny morning a little girl named Pabi woke up to find her cat still sleeping on the couch in the dining room

1

She left to do her home chores. After some time Kabu woke up but was not energetic as usual, it looked very tired as if it didn't sleep at all.

2

Pabi tried to play with it like every day but it was not interested. Maybe Kabu is hungry, Pabi gave it food but it never bothered eating.

3

Pabi came to realization that her Kabu is sick' "I need to tell mom to buy medicine for my cat maybe it will get better". Her mom bought the medicine because she also loved the cat as it always plays with her daughter, to avoid her playing around.

4

After someday Pabi realized that the cat is getting worse, what on earth is wrong with my dear Kabu, I miss playing with it.

5

They tried everything possible to help poor Kabu unfortunately one morning Kabu died, she didn't wake up when they woke her up.

6

"Mom…mom… come help Kabu is not responding or opening her eye" cried poor Pabi, her mother came and told Pabi that Kabu is no more. Pabi cried so hard because she never imagined her life without Kabu.

7

Weeks later Pabi's mom realized that her daughter is lonely and she went to buy her a new cat

8

She suggested they name it Kabu but Pabi was still not interested but as days went by she developed the love and again she was happy.
