#ThingsIWantToToon All The Cats Stalking Me

[joreth]

#ThingsIWantToToon: In the first panel, I pull my car into my parking spot next to my house. It's night, and everything is dark, empty, alone.

I get out of my car and look around cautiously, it's just the kind of neighborhood where you want to know what you are about to turn your back on. Nobody and nothing around.

I lean into the car to get stuff out of the front seat.

I turn back around and close the door. Behind the door is the silhouette of a cat, sitting facing me. I pause, wondering where it came from. But there is a chain link fence between me and the cat.

I turn to walk towards the house.

Another cat silhouette is behind me (now in front), slowly walking towards me. I stop. I am between the 2 cats.

I look back towards the other one. There are now 2 cat silhouettes sitting, watching me. Where did the other one come from?

I start walking towards the house again. The moving cat veers to intercept me.

All of this is done in spooky tones.

Then the motion sensor light comes on as the moving cat reaches me, and I lean down to pet a smiling, purring #TonyTheCat, as the #EgyptianFerals kittens come bounding up, only to bounce away before I get too close. Tone changes to bright, happy tone.

I make it into the house and fill a bowl of cat food while Tony winds his way between my feet and the kittens butt-wriggle-pounce on something in the yard. I smile.
