Rewrite this story from the perspective of the cat.

One cold rainy day when my father was a little boy, he met an old alley cat on his street. The cat was very drippy and uncomfortable so my father said, "Wouldn't you like to come home with me?"

This surprised the cat—she had never before met anyone who cared about old alley cats—but she said, "I'd be very much obliged if I could sit by a warm furnace, and perhaps have a saucer of milk."

"We have a very nice furnace to sit by," said my father, "and I'm sure my mother has an extra saucer of milk."

My father and the cat became good friends but my father's mother was very upset about the cat. She hated cats, particularly ugly old alley cats. "Elmer Elevator," she said to my father, "if you think I'm going to give that cat a saucer of milk, you're very wrong. Once you start feeding stray alley cats you might as well expect to feed every stray in town, and I am not going to do it!"

This made my father very sad, and he apologized to the cat because his mother had been so rude. He told the cat to stay anyway, and that somehow he would bring her a saucer of milk each day. My father fed the cat for three weeks, but one day his mother found the cat's saucer in the cellar and she was extremely angry. She whipped my father and threw the cat out the door, but later on my father sneaked out and found the cat. Together they went for a walk in the park and tried to think of nice things to talk about. My father said, "When I grow up I'm going to have an airplane. Wouldn't it be wonderful to fly just anywhere you might think of!"

"Would you like to fly very, very much?" asked the cat.

"I certainly would. I'd do anything if I could fly."

"Well," said the cat, "If you'd really like to fly that much, I think I know of a sort of a way you might get to fly while you're still a little boy."

"You mean you know where I could get an airplane?"

"Well, not exactly an airplane, but something even better. As you can see, I'm an old cat now, but in my younger days I was quite a traveler. My traveling days are over but last spring I took just one more trip and sailed to the Island of Tangerina, stopping at the port of Cranberry. Well, it just so happened that I missed the boat, and while waiting for the next I thought I'd look around a bit. I was particularly interested in a place called Wild Island, which we had passed on our way to Tangerina. Wild Island and Tangerina are joined together by a long string of rocks, but people never go to Wild Island because it's mostly jungle and inhabited by very wild animals. So, I decided to go across the rocks and explore it for myself. It certainly is an interesting place, but I saw something there that made me want to weep."
On a cold and rainy day, an old alley cat met a little boy on the street. The cat was feeling very soggy and uncomfortable, and the boy asked him, "Wouldn't you like to come home with me?"

The cat had never met a human who cared about alley cats before. Surprised, she replied, "I'd be very much obliged if I could sit by a warm furnace and perhaps have a saucer of milk." 

She went home with the kind stranger, and they became good friends. However, the boy's mother hated cats and shouted that she wouldn't give a stray alley cat any milk. The boy apologized to the cat and told her that she could stay and he would find a way to bring her a saucer of milk each day. For three weeks, he fed her in the cellar. But one day, his mother found the cat's saucer and whipped him. She threw the cat out, but the boy sneaked out later and found her. 

They went walking together in the park, and the boy told her that he wanted an airplane so he could fly anywhere in the world. 

She asked him, "Would you like to fly very, very much?"

The boy replied, "I certainly would. I'd do anything if I could fly."

"Well," she said, "if you'd really like to fly that much, I think I know of a sort of a way you might get to fly while you're still a little boy." 

"You mean you know where I could get an airplane?" the boy asked her excitedly.

"Well, not exactly an airplane, but something even better," the cat replied. She told him of her traveling days when she was a young cat, and of her last journey the previous spring when she sailed to the Island of Tangerina and stopped at the port of Cranberry. "Well, it just so happened that I missed the boat, and while waiting for the next I thought I'd look around a bit. I was particularly interested in a place called Wild Island, which we had passed on our way to Tangerina." She told him of the jungles and the wild animals who lived there, and of what she found while exploring the island.
