My aunt’s cat was basically a neighborhood cat lol. I remember once we were taking a stroll around the neighborhood together and happened to look in one of the neighbor’s windows… and there he was, stretched out on the back of the couch, watching football with the neighbor.
When she moved out everyone came by to say goodbye to her cat lol

‘Tell him we will pray for him.’ ‘He needs your prayers.’ ‘Is he, then, an unhappy man?’ Poirot said, ‘So unhappy that he has forgotten what happiness means.

Orange Discount Hitler’s billionaire bankrollers want it so they can build their end-of-the-world bunkers there. Not sure why they don’t want their New Zealand ones anymore.
