    i went home for my sister’s wedding 5 years ago & there was a whiny, tiny orange barn kitten that would follow everyone everywhere, even if they were using equipment or had the horses out. his siblings mostly hid in the hay bales but he was always at our feet.

    he’s my house cat now bc i was certain he was gonna get himself killed. he has never stopped whining or following me everywhere.

    In the early 2000s I had a cat named Karmalee. She got out of the apartment. So I’m roaming the streets calling out “KARMALEE!!!.. KARMALEE!!!..”

    And a police officer was driving by. He pulled up and asked “…are you looking for a dog?” And I said “No, a cat.” And he said “Oh…” and drove off.

    To this day I don’t know what to make of that exchange. Like him finding out its a cat just ended the conversation instantly. But he did see/hear me, and before talking to me already could assess that I was looking for a lost pet.

    It makes me wonder what he would have instinctually thought if he saw me, a fat guy, walking the streets at 2am as bars are letting out, and I’m just wondering the streets yelling “BROCCOLI CHEDDAR!!!.. BROCCOLI CHEEEEEEDDAAAAARRRRRR!!!”
