Animal Activities #25

Hello everyone On this occasion I want to participate in a contest held by @xkool24 about Alert Contest | Animal Activity #25 following my previous entry I would like to invite my friends @sabbirakib @anjinoor @chiagoziee to participate in this contest

a stray cat named Si Belang by the residents. His body is thin, and black and white striped like a zebra, his eyes are sharp and he stalks human activity from afar. Where he came from nobody knows. He first showed up during the corn harvest season last year, stealing now and then the leftover food from behind Mr. Leman’s home.

At first, the residents drove him away as an annoyance. But then the rats came to the barn. Strangely, after the arrival of Si Belang, the rat attacks decreased drastically. Secretly, the cat guards the village from pests. He patrols at night, sneaking like a shadow and returning at dawn.

Mr. Leman, who was previously the most fierce in chasing Si Belang away, actually became the first person to feed him regularly. “This cat is not just any cat,” he told the villagers, “He knows how to survive and help us without being asked.”

Since then, Si Belang has become a kind of unofficial hero of the village. Children began to approach him, giving him strange names like “Rat Commander” or “Night Warrior.” But Si Belang kept his distance. He was not a spoiled cat.

Mrs. Retno's barn caught fire one day. Although the fire was soon put out, a little kitten was discovered hidden behind a mound of straw – and it’s what they found inside that stunned everyone. It would seem that Si Belang had been a mother. The gray kitten was shivering but unharmed.

Since then, Si Belang not only protects, it has been hinted that it stands for silent love and care. He is hard outside but tender within. Villagers have since provided him with a special wooden house near the barn. Not a cage, but a small house for the cat who never asked for anything, but gave so much.

Now, every night, small voices could be heard from the house—Si Belang's children learning to hunt, playing shadow games, and gazing at the moon. Life went on, and the village no longer saw the cat as an ordinary animal. They saw Si Belang as one of them—a silent friend who faithfully guarded.
