"There’s a beggar I see on the corner almost every day on my way home from
work. She has a cat that stands by her and poses with her and her sign. Her cat
looks much better cared for than she does.
I don’t give her anything because I’m honestly too poor to.
One day, I see an ambulance parked near where she stands. I see her being
loaded onto the ambulance. I don’t see the cat anywhere. I don’t know what
possesses me to, but I park my car and wait. After the noises die down, I start
hearing a “mrrrr” noise.
Her cat slowly creeps its way out of hiding, walks over to her sign, and lies
on the ground. I pick the cat up and carry it to my car.
I take the cat to the vet to get it checked out. The cat doesn’t have a chip,
but it’s not my cat, so I opt not to chip it. We get the cat some shots and a
prescription for some medicine for fleas and ticks.
I care for the cat at my apartment for a while, waiting. Every day, I check to
see if the beggar has come back."
