I opened my front door this morning and there was a black cat on my stoop. “What do I do?” I said to the cat. “Meow,” the cat said. “I have to go to work,” I said, “And this is the city. I can’t just rescue you, you know. ” “Meow. Meow,” the cat said. My boyfriend came up behind me. I could smell his morning breath which I secretly loved. “Try the neighbors down the street,” I said to the cat. And he was gone.
