In the bustling city where Mateo the black cat lived, his addiction to beer turned from a harmless pastime into an unpleasant habit. At first, the appeal of cold beer after a long day at work seemed innocent to Mateo. It brought him joy and relaxation, a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

However, as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Mateo began to notice that a pattern was emerging. The next morning, after every night at the bar, he woke up with a severe headache and nausea in his stomach. His fur was disheveled, his eyes were clouded, and his once cheerful spirit was dulled by the lingering effects of a hangover.

Despite his best efforts to get rid of drowsiness and get to work on time, Mateo found it difficult. He came in late, disheveled and out of sorts, much to the disappointment of his boss at the Lucas store. The store manager, a wise old tabby named Mr. Whiskers, couldn’t ignore Mateo’s deteriorating condition.

Concerned about Mateo’s well-being and the store’s reputation, Mr. Whiskers took action. He began by issuing fines for Mateo’s tardiness, hoping that the monetary penalty would serve as a deterrent. When this did not bring results, Mr. Whiskers assigned Mateo additional tasks and responsibilities, believing that being busy would help the cat focus and avoid trouble.

But despite Mr. Whiskers’ efforts, Mateo’s bad habit persisted. The charm of beer and the temporary relief it provided proved too strong for the wayward cat to resist. With each passing day, Mateo’s struggle became more obvious, his once bright eyes clouded with regret and fatigue.

When the sun set on another day in the city, Mateo found himself at a crossroads. Will he continue on the path of self-destruction or will he find the strength to confront his demons and seek help? Only time will tell how Mateo will cope with his inner turmoil and the consequences of his actions.
