Molly is sitting in the warm cozy sunlight on the windowsill like she always does, just looking out the window wanting to be in the outside world for once.
She can hear the birds chirping on the clothesline just begging to be chased. She can see the dogs walking with their owners and the cats below in the alleyway enjoying a buffet of mice. Oh, how she wishes she was not a luxurious housecat.
Her owner, Rosy, calls her to get her breakfast. Molly walks into the kitchen with much sadness and eats the same boring tuna every day, but she doesn’t know how lucky she really is. Her owner loves her, takes care of her, feeds her, and plays with her whenever she wants.
However, she feels like there is more to life than this. Little did she know those strays outside would die to be in a home like this and have an owner.
The next day is very hot; so hot in fact, that all the windows are open. Molly hatches a brilliant idea and decides to jump out a window and live in the outside world leaving her old life behind. Molly lands feet first in the alleyway and heads out to find adventure. She loves the idea of being outside because that means she is free to do whatever she wants.
She approaches the other cats trying to get a bite, but they aren’t friendly and aren’t sharing. She is starving, not knowing how to hunt a mouse, she had to eat out of the dumpster.
Then, a pair of wings fly over her head and catches her eye. Molly decides to follow the bird and chases it into the street but almost gets run over by a car. She scurries onto the sidewalk as fast as she can.
Then, she goes to walk with a dog and his owner, and to her surprise, the dog starts viciously barking at her. Molly runs away as fast as she can. This is nothing that she thought the outside world to be; it’s too dangerous for her liking.
She realizes how ungrateful she was being and now wants her old life back, no matter how boring, it was safe. She misses the way she would play with her toys, curl up on the windowsill and even eat bland tuna.
However, most importantly she misses Rosy.
Rosy puts up flyers trying to find her Maine Coon cat everywhere. Molly sees a picture of herself with Rosy and follows it. Rosy misses her, therefore Molly decides she has had enough of the outside world and wants to be with Rosy safe inside.
The flyers lead her to her house, and she starts meowing loudly and scratching at the door. Rosy answers, only to see darkness outside but looks down and sees Molly sitting on the doorstep being highlighted by the lamp light.
Her face ignites a huge smile while she scoops Molly up and rocks her back and forth with delight.
Rosy and Molly go inside, realizing how grateful they are to have each other, and they curl up in bed together content as they drift sound asleep.
