I hate umbrellas. I find them bulky and hate carrying them around. I find them even more annoying to use and I only use them when it is pouring.
Like any cat lover, I could not turn down this opportunity to meet a new feline on the block. I looked around and was greeted by a bi-colour Persian cat that was lurking between the mailbox and another gate. I looked at him. He looked back at me. I tentatively reached out to stroke his fur. Unlike Robert, the blue Persian that used to hang around my parents’ house, his fur was soft and silky.
A moment later a blonde lady appeared. We swapped names before she introduced me to Asland the Persian, who still refused to budge. We both tried coaxing him but he ignored us. Finally, his owner decided to go inside. “He’ll come home when he’s ready,” she said, giving up. I wondered why she didn’t just pick him up and take him home.
I tried a few more times to get Asland to budge. Finally, probably sick of all the coaxing, he turned his back on me.
