A VERY DOMESTIC CAT
by Laís B. Costa (Junior high school student)
Review: Prof. Me. Fernando B. A. M. Benites
A very challenging text proposal - "In a few words, tell a story about an animal that is distinguished because of having an unusual behavior" - turned into a funny and pretty creative report. Let's get to know Texugo and his interesting habit...
Contrary to what is expected of a cat – lazy, opportunist, self-seeking -, Texugo escapes expectations when it comes to organization: a few months ago, his family started to notice that every shoe around the house disappeared mysteriously and then appeared next to the shoe rack in the laundry room.
​
The situation became critical when even the slippers that were lying on the living room carpet also vanished, along with papers or phone chargers that were occasionally on the floor.
​
After a few days of investigation, the oldest sister caught Texugo red-handed in one of his journeys with sandals in his mouth. Therefore, the whole mystery was solved. The family was astonished by this storage instinct developed by their feline, who had never shown any commitment in this regard so far.
​
However, as time went by, they found out that the eccentric Texugo was just a common kitty, who just wanted his space to be free of barriers, and, from observing his owners behaviour, he realized that the shoe rack was the right destination for that type of obstacle.
