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.

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.

Voice;

[orangetoughguy]

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?

Voice;

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

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

Voice;

[orangetoughguy]

What does a black cat like yourself believe in?

Voice;

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

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

Voice;

[orangetoughguy]

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

Voice;

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Nothing more. We're not especially trustworthy.

Voice;

[orangetoughguy]

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

Voice;

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

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?

Voice;

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

[orangetoughguy]

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

Yeah you're a fucking cat alright.

Voice;

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

And I shall take that as a compliment.

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

Voice;

[orangetoughguy]

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

Voice;

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

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

May I ask your name?

Voice;

[orangetoughguy]

If I told you coyote would you believe me?

Voice;

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

On a day like this, I might just--Mister Coyote.

Voice;

[orangetoughguy]

Just a coyote who runs with wolves. Don't worry I got nothing against cats though.

Voice;

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

That is reassuring. Obviously and, as I said, I'm none too fond of dogs.

But, coyotes and wolves aren't quite dogs, are they?

Voice;

[orangetoughguy]

No, I guess they aren't.

Voice;

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

A pleasure speaking with you, Mister Coyote.

Voice;

[orangetoughguy]

Oh it was mine, Mister Cat.
