Captivating

The landlady might have agreed to have the kitten in her house but she was doubtful. She had never seen such a breed of the cat before, and several questions popped into her mind. But then she was only concerned about the furniture more than anything.

Tikam

The man seemed a lot happier with the arrival of the pet and it was quite visible with the change in his behavior. Previously he used to be confined to his own room most of the time but now he used to make time for the kitten every evening and began to greet the passers-by.  He named the pet as Tikam. Soon the kitten had become everyone’s favorite.

Growing

As the days passed by, the kitten too started to grow at a faster pace. And within a short span of time, the animal had grown really massive and unlike any breed of the cat. This inculcated some doubts in the man’s mind but then thinking that it was some unique species he brushed off his doubts.

Something’s Fishy

There was something fishy about the cat, and now the landlady was surer of it. The growth was indeed unbelievable and a matter of concern for her too. Though he had never attacked her in any injurious way still she started to get annoyed by his habit of chewing something or the other very frequently.

Strong Claws

One fine day when she returned from the market, she found her sofa scratched from the edge which made her extremely angry and anxious because this mischief was utterly untoward.

Ignorant Tenant

The landlady had complained about Tikam’s annoying habit of gnawing on several occasions but the man never took any action and ignored her plea. There wasn’t one day when she didn’t notify the strange growth of its size or the teeth of the animal but he used to ignore all because he thought that gnawing was normal while the animals grow. He brushed off her worries saying it had no grounds only to find out the truth that would shake the owner and the man from within.
