Section – A (Reading)

A.1. Read the given passage:

My cat died last week. It had been here since I was three years old, so I really miss her and still feel sad.

My cat had been sick for a long time. My dad said it would be best for the vet to end her life because she was suffering so much. I knew my dad was right, I could see the pain in my cat‟s eyes. The vet said that here was nothing more we could do to save her.

At the vet‟s we sat in the waiting room. I nursed my cat. She had her head on my arm. I think she knew what was going to happen because she seemed quiet and calm, sort of resigned.

The receptionist was typing in the details of what the vet was going to do, on the computer keyboard. I could see my cat‟s name on the monitor with „euth‟, beside it. That probably stood for euthanasia. I suppose it was the right word but I wished it had said something kinder, like „put to sleep.‟

Soon it was our turn to go in . I won‟t tell you everything except to say that the vet was very gentle with my cat and very nice to dad and me. My cat had an injection and I could see it didn‟t hurt her. She died very quickly and peacefully. Dad and I both cried and the vet left us with my cat for a while.

That night I couldn‟t stop thinking about my cat and how she used to come and curl up on my bed. My mum came and sat with me until I fell asleep.
