Even today, when I think about this incident, I am shocked

It was the third day of my flight training, when the most unforgettable event of my life happened. I still wonder about this uncertain event. Anyway, this event changed my thinking. My parents wanted me to fly. Seeing my enthusiasm, my mother had strongly urged me not to fly too high, because my wings were still weak, but that day she did not let go of me.
The birds flying high in the bright sun were adding to the splendor of the blue sky. My heart also wanted to perform acrobatics in the sky, to compete with other birds. I shielded my eyes from my parents and began to lift my wings to fly high.
I wanted to fly high, but when I flew, after a while I lost my balance and instead of flying in the air, I fell to the ground.
My head started spinning and my eyes went dark. Within moments, I fell to the ground. I had barely opened my eyes when suddenly a cat grabbed me in the mouth and started running away. own
Death seemed certain, I prayed to Allah in my heart and started thinking about my parents. I was ashamed, even scared, my heart was beating so fast that I could hear it in my ears. But a strange thing happened.
The cat had me in its mouth, yet I was not suffocating. There was no bite of the cat’s teeth in my throat. My heart rate and astonishment continued to increase. I was unable to understand anything. Five. Minutes later we were at the threshold of a house. I heard a few more cat calls and then it dawned on me why I was being held so delicately.
Perhaps there was a feast here and the special food was none other than me. My body started to freeze with fear, but the cat, holding me in its mouth, moved very carefully and quickly towards the upper floor. All this at such a high speed. It happened that the other cats didn’t even notice. This cat carefully placed me on the floor. My throat was getting dry. I was opening my mouth for water again and again.
The cat was now standing on my head. She probably wanted to eat me alone. The cat opened her mouth and I closed my eyes. The cat was licking my throat. My heart jumped into my throat. My last time. I was standing on the floor, but the cat didn’t kill me even after licking for a long time. I felt something in my throat, then my eyes opened and I saw this kind cat carefully for the first time.
It was a white cat with blue eyes. Kindness and kindness in its eyes. I was no longer afraid. It shook me with its front paw. Before she came towards me, the blue-eyed cat scared her away. My life came to me, but my eyes were closing in pain. I was lying on the floor.
The cat shook me, but I didn’t have the courage. For a while I lay like that, motionless. After a while, I heard some human voices and the meowing of a cat. I don’t remember anything exactly. All I can remember is that someone was saying that the baby pigeon is injured. Another voice was that of a woman, who was asking me to drink water. The meowing of the cat was constantly heard.
Then someone picked me up in his arms and applied medicine to my wounds and gave me water. When the water went down my throat, I came to life. I drank the water to my heart’s content. Now my condition is better than before. My eyes are fully healed. I was being held by a boy and a white cat with blue eyes was standing next to him.
I was left in a cabin on the roof of the house, where my parents were also.
Grain and water were also placed near me. My parents were shocked to hear my story. They thanked Allah that I came back safely.
Even today, when I think about this incident, I am amazed.
White cat with blue eyes! I will always be grateful to you for saving my life!
