Read the following passage and answer the questions given below. I was then two years old, the fattest and most naive cat you’ve ever seen. At that tender age, I presumptuously disdained all the pleasures of the house, and did not give thanks to Providence for having placed me with your aunt. That wonderful woman adored me! At the bottom of a wardrobe I had a real bedroom, fitted out with a comforter and three blankets. The food was as good as the bed: no bread, no soup, nothing but meat, lovely red meat. Ah well! In the midst of all this sweetness, I had but one desire, one dream—to slip out of a half-opened window and escape over the rooftops. Caresses seemed insipid, the softness of my bed made me feel ill, I was fat and I disgusted myself. I was bored with being happy all day long. I must tell you that by stretching my neck I had been able to see a roof just outside the window. On that day, four cats played there on the blue tiles in the warm sun, fur bristling and tails erect, with every appearance of joy. I had never seen anything so extraordinary. From then on, I was fixed in the notion that happiness was to be found on the roofs, beyond that window so carefully closed—closed in fact, just as carefully as the doors of the cupboard where the meat was kept. I decided to run away. There had to be other things in life besides juicy flesh. Out there was the unknown,the ideal existence. One day, someone forgot to push the kitchen window shut. I escaped onto a small roof that I found just beneath it. How beautiful were the rooftops! The large gutters along the edge exhaled delicious odours, and I stalked voluptuously down them. My paws were immersed in the fine mud, which had a certain infinite sweetness and warmth. I felt as though I was walking over velvet. The pleasant heat of the sun seemed to be dissolving my fat. I cannot hide from you the fact that I was trembling in every limb. There was something terrifying in my joy. I remember above all the terrible shock I felt—it actually made me lose my footing on the tiles—when three cats rolled down from the top of a house and came up to me meowing frightfully. I practically fainted, but they simply called me a fat scaredy-cat and explained that all the meowing was just a joke. So I joined in. It was delightful. These bravos weren’t as fat as I was, however, and made fun of me when I slipped and rolled like a ball across the tin roof heated by the sun. One old tom was particularly friendly. He offered to educate me, and I accepted the offer eagerly. Ah, the ease of life with your aunt was now far away. I drank from the gutters, and milk with sugar had never tasted so sweet. Everything struck me as good and beautiful. A cat passed by, a gorgeous cat, and simply the sight of her touched off in me a deep and unfamiliar emotion. Only in my dreams had I ever seen such an exquisite creature, with so adorably supple a back. My three companions and I dashed forward to greet her, and I was actually slightly ahead of the others in offering my compliments to this ravishing creature when one of my comrades gave me a savage bite in the neck. I emitted a howl of pain. ‘Bah,’ said the old tom, dragging me away. ‘You’ll see plenty more of those.’After strolling for an hour or so, I developed a ferocious appetite.
