Meow meow meow meow.... meow?


Japanese cat in a temple

The other night i walked by the temple next door on the way home and heard a cat meow. Actually, a series of quizzical meows coming from the temple grounds, so i peeked in and this fat tabby lounging on a bench looked at me calmly as if saying, "Have you seen her?"

i shook my head no., wondering if I should climb over the fence to find out more, but the feline seemed content so i shrugged, "Not sure who you're referring to but you seem okay." and walked on.

Further down the street, I heard the same kind of meows but from a different cat. Looking around, lo and behold, what if it wasn't another tabby resting under a bicycle. It was gazing down the street, towards the temple. I'm pretty sure the two tabbies could hear each other, but just to make sure, I moved closer to the second cat who suddenly noticed me and gave me the same look.

Making sure that no human was around to overhear, I told it, "Hey, your friend's in the temple grounds. He's alright," and hurriedly continued along in case someone heard me talking to a cat!

Maybe I'm losing it...
