One day, you were walking down the street after finishing your work, the air was cool and the sun was starting to set. Suddenly, a small cat with soft fur and wide eyes caught your attention, staring at you as if calling you. You approached it gently and found that it seemed lost and unable to move. Feeling sorry for it, you decided to take it home.

"Come on, you won't stay here alone," you whispered as you picked it up.

From that moment on, the cat never left your side. It followed you everywhere, always sitting close to you no matter where you went. The bond between you grew stronger every day.

But one day, after a long and tiring workday, you returned home exhausted, wishing to find some time to rest. As soon as you laid your head on the pillow, you succumbed to sleep. Suddenly, you felt something warm approaching you, and it was the cat curling up beside you. You paid no mind, as you had grown used to its closeness, and continued to sleep.

However, after a moment, you felt something strange: a hand wrapping around you, holding you gently. You opened your eyes in shock and realized that the cat was not just a cat. It was a man, as though the curse that had turned him into a cat had just ended. "You were always close to me, and I... couldn’t stay away from you," he said softly, looking at you with a calm smile.
