1) OK
2) His favourite pet is a black cat, Pluto, although the cat preferred his wife. Pluto is a beautiful, big cat. He is intelligent and follows his master everywhere, even through the streets.
3) After some years, though, the narrator’s personality changes because of alcohol addiction. One night, he cuts out one of the cat’s eyes. The cat recovers, but always tries to avoid its master after that.
4) Even though the pain of losing its eye is awful, the cat doesn’t seem to be suffering any longer.<~~This seems odd, and maybe contradictory. One morning, the narrator hangs the cat from a tree near his house.
5) That night, there is a fire, and his house is completely destroyed. When he visits the ruins the next day, he sees a gigantic cat with a rope around its neck against the wall where his bedroom used to be.
6) The image seems engraved upon the wall and obsesses him for months. One night, in a pub, he sees a black cat, very similar to Pluto, except for a patch of white fur on its breast, and he takes the cat home.
Compare everything VERY carefully.
