I love the colors of the cat and the water. I don’t know whether that’s a lake or the ocean, but i can almost feel a fresh breeze looking at the photo. That said, in this same situation, my cat would be piiiiiised

I suggest a radio or a cd player

When I was a kid, there was a cat in the neighborhood named “green bean” for just this sort of thing. My cat is more of a celery cat.

I don’t really know anyone here. I know some names. I’ll say hi to anyone I pass. People here seem to go for walks but seem to think it’s polite to cross the street if they see another person. Tbh, I would pick another place to live if everything else was the same and social climate was warmer.
