A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The customs man at the crossing turned the origami cat over twice before he handed it back, as if the creases might tell him what the paper would not. Ilinka had folded it that morning on the bench outside the bakery, from the corner of her mother's ration card, and it sat on her palm with pricked ears and a squared-off chest, neat as a sentry.

"Only paper," the man said. "Where is its pair?"

She had no pair. Her sister Dora had crossed the river at dusk with the second cat tucked inside her coat, and the plan, argued over for a week in the cellar, was that each cat would wait on its own bank until the other called. Cats always know where their pair is, Dora had said. Ilinka had laughed at that. She was not laughing now, and the man had already started filling in his form.

Their grandmother used to say that when a road has two ends, you let the water choose. So at the edge of the reeds, after the lamp on the far bank blinked three times, Ilinka laid the cat flat on the current and watched it turn slowly, ears up, toward the dark shape of the other shore. It was gone before the first dog started barking.

At dawn a sodden shape knocked against her boot, its folds gone soft and its ears bent. A little further along, caught in the reeds, sat the second cat, still crisp, and across the water a woman was lifting its pair into the light. The two of them went up on the sill of the bakery window that winter, one on each side of the glass, and neither ever tried to cross again.
