Smooth translation:
Steps Against Winter Depression

One morning in December I could watch the following scene across the street from
a bus stop:

A boy, obviously on his way to school, stood in front of a garden wall. He had
an enormous red tomcat on his shoulder and this animal balanced skilfully while
the boy tried hard to shake him off. With increasing panic he watched the bus
stop knowing the bus would be due any second now... The cat was quite
undisturbed. Once, he put a paw on the wall, but seemingly it felt too cold, so
he quickly retreated to the boy's backpack. The moment when he was comfortably
sitting, having tucked up his legs, the school bus arrived.

I suppose the cat spent quite an interesting day.
