Natural is beautiful than screen time

Once upon a time, there was a curious cat named Pepper who discovered funny cat videos on her owner’s tablet.

There were cats jumping into boxes, stealing socks, and getting frightened by their own reflections.

Pepper loved every second.

“One more video,” she thought.

But one became five, and five became twenty. Soon, the room was dark, her dinner was cold, and her favorite ball sat untouched.

The next morning, Pepper was too sleepy to chase a butterfly outside the window. She even slept through the sound of the treat bag.
