Waking up on the stairs not remembering if you were coming home or going out: Signs of a good night or bad night?

I swear to God I talked to a bear.

What's that?

That's a meow, obviously.

You speak good English, kitty.

Better English than I do Cat, apparently.

So, there. Now you've spoken to a bear and a cat, and both in the course of a day.

You keeping out of the dog's way, cat?

Of course. I don't really feel like dealing with that sort of thing on a day like this.

You know, you're taking talking to animals rather more calmly than I would have expected. Perhaps you're still a bit off.

I've talked to a big fucking polar bear, a guy who fights off demons, a kid who can empty a clip faster than I can say "Fire!" and a couple others. What the hell's a talking cat on top of that?

Not much, I should think. And fair enough.

A pleasure to meet you, by the way.

Pleasure's mine. Hey you ain't an omen or something like that are you?

Do you believe bad luck? I am a black cat. I might be bad luck.

Belief in bad luck's like belief in fate, and I don't always believe fate but if fate's out to convince me there ain't no real point in fighting it right?

I'd disagree there. I may be a black cat, but I don't believe in either bad luck or fate.

What does a black cat like yourself believe in?

I don't know--in my own tail, I suppose.

Cop out answer, but what should I expect from a cat?

Nothing more. We're not especially trustworthy.

Aloof little shits. Ever hear the song "Stray Cat Strut"?

I don't believe I have, no.

[Saying the verse not singing it.]

I don't bother chasing mice around. I slink down the alley way looking for a fight, howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night, singin' the blues while the lady cats cry: "Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy." I wish I could be as carefree and wild, but I got cat class and I got cat style.

That you?

That does sound a bit like me, yes. I rather like that.

[There's a good natured laugh on this end.]

Yeah you're a fucking cat alright.

And I shall take that as a compliment.

You know, we've spoken all this time, and I've not yet asked your name.

I guess you haven't. Cat like you's got priorities.

Well, I was rather curious about the bear. And being curious is my prerogative as a cat.

May I ask your name?

If I told you coyote would you believe me?
