Hello, my name is Kugo. That’s pronounced, koo go. I am a young cat, currently living in a hollow structure humans call, a ‘house’. I Live in my house with my sister, Firmi and a very nice human. My human gives me food, pets me, lets me sleep with her, and she even made me my own box to digest in! Life’s pretty good where I live.
One day, as I was comfortably resting on a couch, I realized that I had never been outside my house. At least I don’t think I have. I have forgotten most of my history as a kitten, although I have just entered maturity. “I wonder what’s out there,” I purred silently to myself.
The next day, my question was still bothering me. I decided that I would ask my human if she would take me outside. So I went on her bed and meowed, “Can you take me outside?” She didn’t respond. So I asked her again, and again, and again. Finally, she followed me to the front door. Then I meowed once more, with and extra polite, “Please?" at the end. She just shook her head. She had never done that before. The next day I did the exact same thing, but again she just shook her head. I kept trying until my seventh try, when she never even got out of her bed! This made me mad. Why would a human ignore her best friend? So I started to cook up a plan in my head. By the end of the day, I had it all figured out.
"What a purrfect plan," I thought to myself. I had decided that I would dart outside as my human would be opening the door to leave someplace like a party or something. So later that night, I put my plan to action. Unfortunately, my human left while was napping. So I waited and waited and waited for my human to come back. After awhile, I finally heard footsteps, then the door handle clicking, and FLASH! I sped out into the slowly brightening morning. Then my human started chasing me. But I lost her easily. How strange it was out here. So many trees, plants, birds, and- cats? Right there in front of me was a very mean-looking, giant cat glaring at me with his bright blue eyes. Slowly, He wandered up to me. I suspected that he was a bully. I had never met a bully before, but I have heard stories about them. They don't sound nice. Just then the cat screeched, and started chasing me. Yep. It was a bully. As fast as I could I ran and ran and ran. Then I realized that there was no way that I would be able to outrun that cat. So I decided to climb up the nearest tree. The closest tree to me was a pine. As quickly as possible, I darted up. As I was climbing, I heard some rustling branches behind me. That bully was still after me! So I climbed and climbed. Finally, when I was about sixty feet up, the bully cat retreated. I couldn't believe it. I had made it! What a beautiful view.

After enjoying the view while waiting for the bully to vanish, I decided to climb down. But I couldn't find any branches to step on! After looking for awhile, I still couldn't find a way down. I was stuck! So I started meowing for my human. It was four 'O' Clock and there was no telling when my human would come. For hours and hours I waited. 7:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 1:00, and finally, at 2:00 I heard human voices at the base of the tree. Then the tree started to shake. My human was climbing up! Five minutes later, she came into site. But wait! That wasn't my human! It wasn't even a she! Was he here to save me or to hurt me? I didn't know, so I guessed. My guess was that he wanted to hurt me, so I got scared. There wasn't any escape! And I didn't want to climb any higher. So I did the only thing left to do. I did the impossible. Three, two, one..................... JUMP! I whimpered silently as I plummeted down to the earth below. Then I closed my eyes for the last time- I thought. SLAM! I bellyflopped down on the soft grass. For a second, I was stunned. The next second, I dashed away and hid under a bush. I was alive! But I was in serious pain. It was the worst pain I had ever felt. Not on the outside, but on the inside. I had severely bruised my internal organs.
After about two hours under the bush, a human came and gave me some food, which I gladly accepted. After eating a bit, I went and hid under the bush again. Later that day, I saw my human walking up to me. Then she attempted to pick me up, but because of the pain, I squirmed out of her arms. She tried to catch me for about half an hour, until I finally gave in. She took me to her thing with wheels and we sped off. When the thing with wheels stopped, my human took me to another human, who gave me a shot. Then I got sleepy, and I closed my eyes forgetting about the pain. The next thing I saw was my comfortable bed and Firmi. I was still in pain, but very comfortable. After a few days, I started to feel better. And I never, ever want to go outside again. Never ever.
Kugo literally jumped 60 feet. Please trust me. I'm not exaggerating

This was all a true story. And Kugo is now living happily ever after.
