Plot Summary of Cat
"Cat was a teenage girl who lived with her mom and dad at a quiet suburban neighborhood. Little did she know that her very strict mother adopted her when she was a baby. Cat's real mother was who she thought was her grandmother. Her mother was adopted by her grandmother, and when she grew up was forced by her father to marry Cat's adoptive father and to adopt Cat to be their daughter. Cat's mother was a very strict mother who enrolled Cat at a Parochial school. She complained so much about Cat's body developing to fast and made Cat wear a tight Bra. The Bra gave Cat rashes around her breast and every night Cat's father would come to her room every night to apply a cold cream around Cat's breast. Cat was confused and scared and couldn't say no to his father. Every night his father would come to her room and would touch her in places that made her uncomfortable. Cat's mother forced her to wear loose clothes, forbidded her from watching T.V, going out at night or even having a friend. One day Cat's father had a business trip and asked his wife and Cat to go. Cat's mother didn't want to go so Cat went along with his father. While at the motel, Cat's father forced her into having sex with him. When Cat refused, he told her about her adoption and about them not being related. Cat's father raped her in the motel room but Cat was confused and scared. At first he thought it was how his father showed him love but now that she knew she became even more scared of her father. When Cat had an accident that made her unconcious, she was brought to the E.R where the Doctors hypnotized her. It was then that they found out about Cat's abuse. Her mother didn't want to press charges but the judges gave a restraining order to her father. Cat attended regular sessions with D.R Marlow and that was were she met her future best friends, Jade, Misty and Star."
