A true, but strange cat story
Ok, maybe I like LOLcats a little too much, but here's my cat story.
So, I walk home from the Metro as much as I can. Last week, I walked home and I saw a cat sitting on a bench in someone's front yard. I smiled at it and it spoke. So, I spoke back and it started to get up and came towards me meowing away like he was telling me something. I just stood and the cat came right to my foot and then was like "naaaaaaaaaah" and started walking away again, but it was still meowing. I started walking further down the street towards home when a grey cat came out of nowhere, blocked my path and started meowing at me. I spoke to it too and started following me. I walked faster until it stopped. I twittered that I must have catnip on me and that I miss my cat, Kira after these strange cats spoke to me.
Yesterday, I walked down my street as usual and this time I was further down my street and I saw a black cat using a fallen branch like a tightrope. I spoke to it and it almost fell off, but regained its balance. It meowed at me and started walking to me like, "Oh Hai, Hoomin!" It started rubbing on my ankles and just kept talking. Then this orange striped tabby came out of nowhere and also meowed. The tabby was from the same house as tightrope cat was. Tightrope cat left me and started to talk to the tabby. Which is weird because cats don't usually communicate to each other with meows, but I just stood and watched. Tightrope cat must've been talking about me cuz it kept looking over its shoulder in my direction while talking to Tabby. I could just imagine:
Tabby: Y yoo talk to dat hoomin? U kno her? Dats not teh hoomin dat feedz us.
Tightrope: Dat hoomin is naise. She speeks cat. (looking at me)
Tabby: Wat?! Hoomin no speek cat. Hoomin speek hoomin!
Tightrope: No, dis hoomin is cat hoomin! (looking at me)
Tabby: (peering over at me) Cat hoomin, u sais? Do dis hoomin haz any cheezburger?
Tightrope: (thinks and looks back at me) Naise hoomin feelz naise. Naise hoomin smellz naise. Naise hoomin shud hav cheezburger!
Tabby: Wellz y u not sais so!
They both started walking towards me meowing and I backed up to continue my walk home. I look down and there's a calico fluffy cat in my path saying meow like, "Oh Hai, naise hoomin. Dey sais u naise wif cheezburgerz!" By this time, I'm freaked out and wondering how many other cats are going to join in the conversation. I step away from Calico cat and begin to walk again. I look behind me and Calico and Tightrope are following me. Tabby was just sitting down and it looked like it was just waiting. I was going to take a picture of the cats as proof, but some people were walking and getting closer and I felt kind of stupid. I started walking faster and Calico and Tightrope stopped. I giggled to myself as I replayed the LOLcat conversation in my head.
This morning, I was walking to the station and I saw nothing but sidewalk in front of me. I blinked and then Calico cat was running straight towards me down the hill! She stopped and spoke "HAI, Hoomin frum yestiddy!", then looked across the street. Looked both ways, saw that she could beat the car that was coming and ran, stopped and looked at me like "Follow me, hoomin!" I just kept walking straight and she kept walking on the other side of the street looking at me. I started paying attention to my side because I didn't want to Itty Bitty Kitty Committee to jump me or something. I don't know what's going to happen when I go home this afternoon!
