Today’s task was to “stalk an animal.”
So, this one was easy as I have a stray cat living behind my building. Opee and I go there sometimes on walks as he loves cat poop and keeps me on my toes recognizing when he looks for cat poop or tries to find a spot to pee on. Anyhow, because of this task, I purposefully went there with him. And of course, there was that cat just strutting around. Opee pulled (so it might not count as me personally stalking but whatever). At first, the cat ran but then stopped and turned towards Opee and exhibited typical asshole cat behavior standing on her (I know it is her because she had kittens who I have seen as well) legs and flaunting his claws at Opee. Opee got scared and ran back to me. It was pretty funny. The cat turned and proceeded to run away and we launched behind her. However, there was a hole in the fence and she darted there which of course was a bummer as there is no way we could fit in the hole. That concluded the stalking. However, I had another trick up my sleeve. I put some chicken in a dish and put it on my patio for her to find thinking I would catch her then. But I had to work so I did not check on it for a few hours and when I did it was gone. Now, I am thinking I should do it every day in hopes to stalk her again. Cats are assholes. Proven fact and devious ones. Someday I might own a cat that will enrich my life with its devious behavior. On the other hand, I don’t want to be a “cat lady.” I’d rather be a “dog mom.”
