Why so?

Was trying to focus on History when I heard some haunting cries, quite terrifying. It was just late evening not midnight or something, still those evil noises disturbed me so much. Quite frightened, still I got out to see where this devil-tones were from. Just peeped over the balcony down the road, and to my shock and surprise realised that these strange sounds were from - cats! There were two of them, not looking at each other directly these two were apparently preparing for a fight. Strange creatures, what kind of sounds they make and look at the way they prepare for a quarrel. I really do not know how people can have cats as pets. One famous lady who had so many cats at her home was our French teacher. For every person at her home, there were approximately 3 to 3.5 cats. In fact, we used to sit among the cats and tried learning French. Ultimately, I ended up knowing more about the Meow language than French! Really, cats are a catastrophe and I always fear that they can attack us anytime. Also, am yet to figure-out how the word "catwalk" came into use.
There are four wonderful, black, cute puppies just outside my house.Their mom is also black. Info about their dad is unavailable at this moment. They are so small that I was the first one to make them eat solid food, biscuit. It was really funny to watch them struggle to get hold of the biscuit pieces. Also they are so small that sometimes they don't even know food is being offered, they seem to be more interested in playing. Looking at the colour of their feet - all white - I'm searching for a white dog around the corner. Pappu, Dappu, Sohan, Mohan - these are the names that our Psychology teacher uses for examples in his classes. So I did not have any problems naming these four. One of my friend also suggested Franky. We can add Cranky, Hanky and Monkey to it. But many others are also feeding these dogs, so on all likelihood each one of them will end up having about 4-5 names. That is a mind-boggling 20 names shared among four siblings!! (Recently read in The Hindu that there is a surname-crisis in China; if all people with the surname Wang were put together they will form the 12th most populous country!) And these days they are trying to bark, it's really enjoyable to hear those attempts! But while three pups are full of enthu, one looks so weak and laid-back. Why so?
