Don’t Pet The Black And White Kitty
On my way home from the BNL I decide to save some time by walking up the ally behind my place as I have a rear entrance. As I near my place I see some movement down low. As I look more carefully I see what looks like a black cat.
“Hi Kitty” I say and it stops and turns. I notice it was two white stripes going down either side.
“Well aren’t you an oddly coloured kitty” I say. Then I notice it’s very large tail.
“Oh <expletive deleted>, you’re not a kitty at all” I say, “look, I’m not gonna bother you, you’re not gonna bother me, okay?”
It looks at me, terrified.
“No!” I try to say gently “no need to be afraid, everything’s fine. That’s a good not-kitty”
I inch towards my place, the gate won’t close behind me so I make a dash for safety.
So the first thing we need to teach the kid before letting it play out back is don’t pet the black and white kitty.
And that’s The Wørd.
