What My Cat Did

One day，I was sitting in a chair drinking a cup of tea.

My cat came into the room and sat on my lap.

She was quite content，and she sat there purring.

My cat likes to drink water，and sometimes she drinks milk.

I would never give she tea to drink.

Cats just don't drink tea.

We were sitting there quietly when suddenly my cat stood up.

She was looking at something on the floor.

She crouched down low and got ready to pounce.

I saw what she was looking at，it was a huge centipede.

I think that centipedes are ugly.

They have many legs and they move very fast.

I would hate to have one crawl over me.

My cat jumped to the floor and she ran over to the centipede.

She was incredibly fast.

I was surprised that she caught the centipede

She put her paw on it，and then she reached down and ate the centipede..

The centipede must not have tasted very good.

My cat got a funny look on her face，and she looked like she was trying to get a bad taste out of her mouth.

I was thinking that I would be sick if I ate a centipede.

My cat looked at me and jumped back up in my chair.

She stuck her face in my teacup and took a big drink of tea.

I was shocked.

I had never seen a cat drink tea before.

I think that centipede must have tasted so bad that my cat just needed something to wash the taste out of her mouth.

Guess what？

I didn't finish my tea.

I threw it out and washed out the cup.

My cat has never had a drink of tea since that day.

She has also never eaten another centipede.

If a centipede walks by，she just pretends that she doesn't see it.
