Read the following text and answer the questions:

My Cat, Fluffy
Fluffy is very playful and… lazy! She sleeps in the morning, in the
afternoon, in the evening and at night! Mum says she’s like a baby, but
she is six years old.
I love my cat, but I don’t like it when she jumps on my legs and scratches
me. Sometimes I think she has a very strange way to play. For example,
she loves playing with me when I do my homework. She jumps on my
desk and tries to catch my pencil. When she does that I take a break and
play with her or I take her to another room.
Fluffy loves hiding. I get scared when I can’t find her. She often hides
in a drawer, under the bed or on the balcony. I don’t understand why she
does that. Is she scared?
Have you got a pet, too?

Railway code: A railway code is a code that uses two lines of corresponding letters that resemble a
railway line. To write a message in railway code, one takes a message and writes its first letter on the row
above, the second one below, and so on and so forth. For instance, MOTHER is written:

MTE
OHR

To make the code even more difficult, the two lines of letters are written next to each other:

MTE OHR

Can you decipher the following message written in a railway code?
