This is a story about a person who works at a cat shelter and a cat there named Lily who is always passed over because she has one eye. When Lily's chance finally comes to be adopted for real, she unexpectedly blows it by scratching the kid who had his fingers in her cage.
I really liked the descriptions in this story. The setting and the people and animals are all really well imagined and described. The description of the room by all three dimensions went well with the talk of cages, to where the room itself was like a cage for a moment. The well-pressed woman in her well-pressed home was vivid, and the descriptions told us a lot about her and her family's character as well.
I'd like to see more interaction with Lily at the end. Does she become mean all of the sudden? Will she be mean to her caretakers now? Or does she just not want to be adopted at all? It is an interesting story, and I think those questions being answered would help it.
