Cuh-razy Cat

Not really messing with the dark side, but….

Many years ago, I worked in a pub in Reading. I used to walk back from work at the end of my shift via the locks and the river. There was a short cut I used, a hidden away sort of path which followed the river round, and brought you out the other side in a housing estate near to my parent’s house.

Now one night about 12:30, I had finished work and I was walking down this pathway. About half way down it, I saw this cat just sitting in the middle of the path. It was just looking at me, not making a sound. Anyway, I walked past it (it didn’t move) and carried on my way home. Very shortly, I hear this cat meowing, and it walks past me, about 20 foot, stops, and sits there looking at me. I carry on walking, and it gets up, again moves in front of me, meaows and waits. I keep walking. It gets up again. This happened all the way to the end of the path, where usually I’d turn left to go home. Anyway, this cat meows again, then turns right, towards nothing but empty fields. He sits there, looking at me. I thought ‘this is interesting’ and decide to follow the cat. Anyway, it keeps doing the meow thing, then sitting and waiting until I got near, then repeating the exercise.

After following this thing for a couple of minutes, I come across a car. Just parked there in the arse end of nowhere. The cat walks up to the boot and sits beneath it meaowing, looking at me then looking at the boot; looking at me, looking at the boot. So I thought long and hard about opening the boot and thought…….. fuck that. I have no interest in what’s in there. This is too fucking weird. And pissed off home as fast as I could.
