Shra and I were walking down a hallway someplace and we turned into a side room. It was made to look like the outdoors, full of half-trees and little fake creeks and things, like a cage in the zoo. As soon as we were about five feet into the room, a marmalade cat emerged and walked directly toward Shra. We both made kitty noises at it. Then another cat came toward us, and another, and another, until Shra was surrounded by cats. They made a circle around her and then all of them turned their heads to face me. They looked up toward the sky, and their eyes glowed green and luminous. It wasn't scary, but it was strange, and I asked Shra, "Hey, what do you think is going on?" Then I saw that Shra's eyes were glowing too, and she was also staring up at whatever the cats were looking at.
I couldn't turn my head, so I never saw the UFO, but I could feel its size and hear its hum, a low, foreign frequency. A voice spoke to the cats, and a couple of them levitated up into the UFO. Then a beam came down onto the first marmalade cat, and the voice said, "You may go." Then the UFO went away, and the cats and Shra went back to normal.
It turned out that whenever humans entered this room, if they met the cats' approval, one of the cats would choose to adopt itself to the first of the humans. Whenever this happened, the UFO would come down and shift the cats' population in some way. So the marmalade cat had chosen Shra, and now Shra had a space cat for a pet. He was the most amazing cat. He could read your mind, he was smart and subtly observant, he was extremely affectionate, he was clever and agile, and yet he behaved exactly like a cat. No one could ever tell that there was anything extraterrestrial about him; they just thought he was an incredibly lovable cat. We only told family members, who all enjoyed the company of this extraordinary cat. His name was Mo.
