writhe a bit

 Yesterday I walked to the grocery store, falsely thinking it opened at 8 and not 9. Returning with nothing I spotted this white cat up the block on the sidewalk ahead of me. It hopped into a yard, a rabbit all along.

I didn't have much hope I'd be able to get that close to it as I continued walking toward it, but it didn't scamper off when I reached it. I made a few little tsk tsk noises like I do with cats, crouched down and held out a puckered fist. The little guy was scratching around on some fallen pine boughs and stood out bright white with little demon eyes against the shaded green.

I scooted forward a bit and he didn't flinch. His eyes were less demonic and more mundanely bloodshot when I finally got close enough to stroke his ears and down his back. I left the yard and continued home.

Dunno, I thought it was kinda enchanting
