A dude rode by on his bike and my cat took off after him. He turned around and came back, got off his bike, sat down on our porch laughing and told us "No one is going to believe me. I've never been chased by a cat before. I've been chased by dogs, but... I had to tell someone." I mean that's our cat. I can believe it. But it was pretty funny to watch. I wish I'd gotten it on film. permalink fedilink source parent
