You stretch and slowly open your eyes, curled up against a window. You are surrounded by people. Other cats and dogs wander around freely, while some are kept in cages. Many humans interact with them, and some of them are even lucky enough to leave. You want to be one of them.
A family walks by. A mother, father, and a little girl tapping a stick along the ground as she walks. They don't even seem to notice you're there.
Meow. Loudly.

You jump down from the window and run to capture the stick. You manage to trap the tip of it in your mouth. The girl looks confused and tries to shake it, but you hold on tight. The mother and father blink and stop walking. They look at you, but the little girl doesn't. It's as if the girl has no idea you're there. She tries to pull the stick towards her and down towards the ground, but you hold fast.

As father tries to pry the stick from your jaws, you watch him closely. Anticipating his moves you hop into the air, startling him. You land on your paws as the stick comes down in turn, and go from simply not allowing him to take the stick to jumping with it when he tries to pull it away.
Finally getting bored you let him take the stick back. He hands it back to his daughter before explaining what happened. Now knowing you're there, she reaches out a hand towards you.

Purring, you paw your way closer to the little girl, rubbing against her leg as she kneels down to pet you. The parents talk among themselves, and then to their daughter as she strokes your fur.
It suddenly hits you that they're talking about taking you home!

You rub up against the little girl's leg for another few moments before getting bored. Deciding to celebrate the best way you know how, you start to run around in circles. Mother and father let you for a few minutes before mother picks you up. Soon, you're out of the shop and being placed in a little pet carrier in the car.

You deserve better than to be trapped in this tiny box. Determined to get your new humans to let you out, you let out a long, loud meow.
It doesn't work, so you try again. And again.
The battle of wills between feline and human finally seems to shift when you notice the little girl's hand moving out of the corner of your eye. She's brushing her fingers over the holes in the crate, as if she's trying to find you.

@ambergrey Thanks! I try to run it daily but with headaches and the like, plus college, I don't always succeed. But it's just a thing to bring a little cuteness and a smile to someone's day. Feel free to follow along! I use those hashtags every time. As do, I believe, some other folks.
