“My 16-pound super mutt is very inquisitive and aware of his surroundings.
We were walking by an area with brush, and it was dark when he suddenly stopped.
He always has to be first and cant ever be last, so this piqued my interest.”
“This happened between the 1950s and 1960s.
My great-grandparents lived in the countryside and didn’t have neighbors close by.
However, my great-grandma owned two Norwegian forest cat mixes that were huge!
A burglar broke into the house when my great-grandma was alone during the day.”
My great-grandma was able to run to a different room, lock the door, and call the police.
They arrested the burglar.
Both cats and my great-grandma were fine.
The cats lived to be very old and were both extremely chunky."

“I caught a rare strain of pneumonia that left my lungs to shit permanently.
Long story short, myalveoliare so inflamed that oxygen is too thick to pass through.

My lungs stopped breathing for me, and I was lying upstairs unconscious for who knows how long.”

My cat bit my ponytail and started pulling my head back up.

The man was smiling at me and saying ‘hi’ as he got closer.
There was something off in my gut.
He was on a leash, and he genuinely surprised me.
The man jumped back, looked spooked, and hurried off.

“I was about 10 when my mom and I came home really late.
We lived in a mobile home park, and our yard was right next to the levee.
We pulled around to where we would see our front porch before parking in the driveway.
Our black cat was sitting at the bottom of the steps, covered in blood.
About a minute after he went in, he came back to the driver’s side door.

He knew the cat had just been fed and had water, so he ignored him.
He eventually got up to see what the cat wanted, and it was just standing there.”
“I was 11 years old and living in a farming community.
“Not me, but my dad.
Then, it just stopped.
He lived a very beautiful and peaceful life until his passing in December 2023.
