Dale The Moth

Description

There was a moth that got into the house under mysterious circumstances. I immediately thought of capturing it and letting my cat eat it since he enjoys doing so.

However, this moth constantly teased me by flying down towards my face only to rise back up again before I could get in range. I had him in my hands, only for him to fly out.

Then, I caught him again. But he did not fly out. Instead, he chose to stay on the palm of my hand, and even flitted to perch on my thumb.

It wasn’t until I presented him to my cat that he flew away. I spotted him on the wall, and he allowed me to hold him again. This time perched on my index finger.

After all that effort, I chose to let him go outside, but he didn’t get off my finger. The lights in our house were too tempting. His wing was also damaged a bit, so death was coming soon.

So I let my cat chase and eat him, like I had initially intended, but now with a heavy heart.

I’m probably being stupid being all sentimental over an insect I only spent like ten minutes pursuing, but gaaaaaaaah! Feels!
