We walked right past the goons, without mishap. Entering my office, I saw more evidence of this not being real. No dust. There were motes dancing in the light coming through the partially closed venetian blinds, but no dust on anything. Such a clear lapse in continuity, but I hadn’t noticed. Well, I wasn’t really a detective, was I? I pointed to the Rolodex on the desk. “In there.” “No kidding,” she said, “you’re using SOS cards. Nobody has used these in twenty years. Encrypted Secure Offline Storage cards that fit in a Rolodex. Beautiful! Nobody even has readers for these any more. But, since this isn’t real, that doesn’t matter. Done. We can go now.” She started to walk out. I hesitated. “You said you were going to fill me in? I can see this isn’t real, now. But I’ve got a weird feeling about it. Give. What’s up?”
Stop pu$$y footin’ around. Tell me how you really feel. It’s hard to pu$$y foot when you are lame. A limp doesn’t kinder to pu$$y footin’. Of course, if this was prohibition era, you’d just be a teetotaler. 2022 is no time for pus$$y footin’.
It may be that you are attributing too much intentionality to the slinky black feline, which may merely be ambling about aimlessly rather than “going somewhere”!

Well, good luck to him (or her).

Does it count as “going somewhere” if it’s following an established route through its territory which ends where it started?
(By the way, cats should definitely be indoor pets. Roaming pet and feral cats live shorter lives and are an environmental disaster.)

That cat is known as a slinker. There are some big rats in this museum and this cat looks like a good mouser, too.

Could be it was following a chicken across the road.
