Tara & Animals
August 25, 2026•315 words
Tara wasn't the type of girl who liked animals. Even though her house was known to be the palace of cats, she wasn't much of a cat lover. Tara obviously loved kittens, but that love disappeared when they grew older.
Believe it or not, her family had 64 cats. And she fell only for the last one. The 64th darling, was nicknamed as "Cup Cake" by Tara and that became her real name.
But with a twist. Sissy became her offical name with a cute origin tale. And it went like this: "Well, Tara nicknamed her Cup Cake once. Months later, we thought a lot about her name. And finally, came this idea that we make Cup Cake as CC, which would sound like and can be written as Sissy". People were kind of amused at this. Whatever, Tara took immense proud in saying that little history of how her darling's name got derived.
Once Tara invited 4 of friends over for lunch. And then for a photo, she got them Sissy and her three siblings.
I tell you, that was a very lovely photo because it was 4 for 4. But then there was Violet, with whom she realised how cozy the kittens were, than with the other girls. Violet was the favourite of favourites for Tara.
So a secret wish crawled inside Tara, that later remained unsaid. When Tara and her family shifts to a new place, she wanted to give Sissy darling to Violet. Then that happened, her Papa accidently stepped on Sissy. It was hence told, that she would be taken along to Delhi. No, you are wrong! Tara wasn't that sad. She had an odd habit of giving her favourites to her favourite people. And that is silly in certain scenarios.
So, Sissy was brought to Delhi. And one day she disappeared, only to make Tara devastated.
