He first saw the cat while on the way home after a few drinks with the
boys at the club that cold windy night .A slight drizzle was on, so he  
pulled up his coat collar and stuck his hands into the coat pockets for 
warmth. At first, he couldn't believe his eyes, it was the biggest cat 
he had ever seen, lily white, and lying on it's side watching him 
steadily. “ Must be the drinks playing tricks with my eyes” he thought 
and brushed his eyes with unsteady hands. 

Being an animal lover, he called out to it and approached cautiously.
“Come here, boy” he cried softly beckoning it towards him. The cat got 
up, turned, and walked slowly away towards an alley way. “Here, Kitty, 
Kitty ,”He called again, ”Come here, boy, daddy's going to take care of 
you !' The cat continued walking away, but kept looking back at him 
occasionally, it's huge green eyes almost hypnotic with intensity. A 
strange feeling crept over his body, He felt as if the cat was calling 
him! Compelling him to follow. He followed as if in a trance. 

At the entrance of the alleyway he stopped and looked sharply in the
darkness, and all he saw now were the huge piercing, green eyes of the 
cat  staring at him intensely. A chill ran through his body. He felt 
something was amiss. A feeling of cold fear now engulfed him and his 
first instinct was to turn and run .But he felt rooted to the spot. He 
couldn't move! 

There was a low growl as the cat sprung, knocking him backwards off his
feet, he fell hard to the ground, then , horrors on horrors, he 
couldn't believe his eyes .The cat began to transformed itself slowly 
into a vampire like creature with huge bat like wings folded over it's 
shoulders, It's green eyes glaring, The man struggled to get up, but 
couldn't. his legs felt numb, weak, drained of all life! 

With a loud snarl, the Creature reached out and grasped him by the
collar with white claw like hands, saliva drooling from it's mouth, The 
man began struggling for his life,his eyes reflected dread fear and 
horror, He tried to scream, but nothing came forth. The Creature then 
lifted him bodily off his feet “ Did you call?”asked the creature 
menacingly and plunged his long yellow fangs deep into the man's 
jugular vein! 

They found the man's bloodless corpse early the next morning and
wondered what creature couldn't have done such an atrocity and nearby 
looking on at the proceedings was a huge, white cat !
