When I was picked up from the trash can by a hip young man, he asked me: 'Do you know the hidden meaning behind a stray cat? Hesitate and you’ll miss out.' Later, when gas leaked in the house, I used my paw pads to block his nostrils and jolt him awake. After waking up, he hugged me and cried: 'Coal Ball (Mei Qiu), you’re truly my lucky charm!' From then on, he stuffed me into his jacket wherever he went—even when busting out street dance moves. Until one day, his ex-girlfriend came to reconcile. I leaped onto the table and meowed: 'Meow!' He froze for three seconds, then suddenly lifted me overhead: 'See? My daughter says NO!'
