Good scene, well handled. The characters are believable and the situation realistic. My only crit would be that there are a few places where the characters' emotions/reactions are told instead of shown, that aren't really necessary (for example, "At that moment, Tim understood how lucky he was and felt a little ashamed for his actions during dinner." --something that's pretty much made clear by Tim's actions and dialogue).
And, as TShaw said, always good to see new people too. >^_^<

Very cute! Nice to see the all-too-expected coming from kids instead of adults for once.
Poetigress hit a good crit area, so I'll ask instead, what's with the dashes leading in the dialogue paragraphs? If you want to set the dialogue off, you might find paragraph indenting a more standard method. I just thought it was odd, and a little distracting.

Very good little piece, I liked this very much. I was totally out about what caused the little cat's odd behaviour till it was revealed, so in a way I was less wiser than his friend. But this made the reading experience very entertaining. Great short story, I liked the way you handle your characters in this and I liked their dialogue. I enjoyed reading this.
