You know…
I’ve been thinking about that alley cat.
Not because I care — don’t get sentimental on me — but because the little fur‑covered critic walked up, judged my entire existence with one meow, rejected my hospitality, and left like it had better places to be.
And the worst part?
I keep catching myself glancing toward the door like it might come back.
Not because I miss it.
No.
Absolutely not.
I just want closure.
I want to know why it meowed at me like I owed it money.
Maybe it sensed weakness.
Maybe it smelled confusion.
Maybe it saw me sit on my own lighter yesterday and decided I wasn’t worth the trouble.
Whatever the reason, that cat walked out of here with more confidence than I’ve had since 2025.
If it returns, I’m ready.
This time I’ll offer it something sensible.
Like a chair.
Or directions to someone else’s table.
