The Sea Hag Luxery Apartments 😂😂 You should send your nemesis a card at Christmas with a family photo snapped at the dog park with Shaddow & pink leash in tow! Tis the neighborly thing to do is it not?
I don't know whether to feel sorry for the guy, or to not waste my time feeling sorry for the guy for his baffling behaviour!
We're often away in our campervan, and many fellow campers have dogs in tow. I was surprised and deeply impressed to see a couple walking their two cats on leads at a campsite recently - it's not a sight I see often, and it was awesome!
And kudos to you for this: "I dream of a day when I can make excuses NOT to go to the exercise room." That's the kind of intention I can get behind! 🤣
I think I’ve solved this mystery! Maybe your nemesis erroneously thought you were the “I can’t live like an animal at the zoo!” guy and he was offended, like hold-a-grudge offended, since I’m sure everyone in the building hates that guy. Do you look anything like that drama queen?
Hahah, no tho! The Animal In The Zoo guy was at our last apartment building 😁 Although Elyse above had a good idea that he was afraid I hexed him since he was a black cat…. 🐈⬛
I could ask him… but I’m afraid of the answer… and him. (they found a skeletonized human body about 100 yards from here up in the woods last month. Yikes.😬 )
Oh my goodness, several of this guy's absolute soul-twins live in my tiny town. Aaaaaargh, what is the deal with people sometimes?!? So funny, though, you did a hilarious job unfolding this story, thanks for that 🤣
Maybe it was the dog. Some owners and their companions develop a link that is almost psychic, communicating with no more than a slight gesture or a look. Maybe his dog looked at at Shadow and thought, "Oh no, it's one of THOSE. And in a pink leash. Ewww." It just took a corner of a lip raised in a sneer of a distain for his owner, Mr. Nemesis, to turn and leave. And apologize once they got home.
😂😂 The kid is so cute otherwise I would too. They were playing? Mary Had a Little Lamb the other day on the drums and the dad yelled, “Come on, you got this!!” 🥹
My cats have always been indoor outdoor since I had that luxury. When we sold the house and were getting ready to move I wasn't sure where we would be staying yet so I got harnesses and leashes for my cats just in case. Disaster. My one cat got three legs into one hole, twisting herself around and I had to take it off before she hurt herself. My other cat managed to sqeeze her head back and out and yowled bloody murder at me. Yeah I gave up that plan, I think you have to train them young.
Well, it takes all k8bds. I’m guessing your Nemesis is not a happy person. Too bad he can’t be open and curious. His loss. Thanks for sharing and May your black cat and you share many happy walks together. (maybe he is suoerstitious)
What! This is so bizarre! Over a cat in a pink harness, really? Maybe it’s for another reason you missed? I think I’d just ask him, but then that could make things even more awkward. This is a bizarre story but told in a fun way that had me captivated, and now I adore Shadow. Our black kitty is named Cocoa.
That’s my kind of mom! Let everyone know how it goes in a follow-up essay (is my thought anyway). You did a great job with this one, I was really into finding out what happened.
Dogs are good,but cats….Awesome!! Different level. The Nemesis doesn’t deserve your attention and definitely not Shadow’s. I just dove in to your posts and was immediately attracted to this one because of the cat walking. Now I need to get up to speed with Nemesisgate.👏🏻👏🏻

Now that’s an awesome idea!! It is going on the To-Do list 😂😂
Yes! 😂🎄 And, please keep us updated with any nemesis developments!
Cats are underestimated by many. Dogs are ok. I’ve met a few I like. I’ve never met a cat I disliked. Nice basic black model you have there.
Oh no, there are unlikeable cats. That is how I started out.
That’s on you.

Very funny! There will always be haters, and the good thing is - inspiration for your writing!!!
That's how I see it, I love this inspiration! :-)
That nemesis! Strait to jail!!!! I don't understand how people don't like cats! They are a menace, I get it. But so are dogs! Any revenge plans??
I’m going to stop trying to say hi to him!! Megan Lee had a great idea above 😂😅
The card is a nice idea 😅😅

Too bad, I was so proud of myself for thinking of this and assuming I’d connected the dots. Back to the drawing board!
I could ask him… but I’m afraid of the answer… and him. (they found a skeletonized human body about 100 yards from here up in the woods last month. Yikes.😬 )
Wait what? Really?!?
I know!! The mystery deepens (and I don’t think they figured out who the dead person was yet)
I should write a book about this! Is there a news story? I’m gonna look this up.

LOL! Why are they like this??
Thanks, Sydney!
Walk on. Both of you!
"I dream of a day when I can make excuses NOT to go to the exercise room." Hahaha. This is so sad, yet hilarious.
Mostly sad LOL! :-)

Hahaha love it! I have the same thing, but with noise. No matter where I live, I always have noise around. That's my nemesis!
I have that problem too!! The people under us just got a drum kit 😂😂
Christ, I would end up pushing their head through (in my mind, of course)
😂😂 The kid is so cute otherwise I would too. They were playing? Mary Had a Little Lamb the other day on the drums and the dad yelled, “Come on, you got this!!” 🥹
Ok. But still... my brain can't do things like that.

It takes patient conditioning with a cat like that. Daily work.
And the right harness right Taryn?
Definitely some terrible harness designs out there.
a straight jacket?

I never even thought of the superstition angle, Elyse! Maybe. People have strange ideas sometimes around that. Thanks for reading 😊
Thanks! It was on my mind since I posted “Black Cats and Dark Spirits” last week
I am reading it now. Thanks Elyse!
So does Shadow just have white toe tips? What cool markings!
A tiny bit of white on his chest and his back toes. We didn’t even see it when we got him as a kitten 😸
Wait, so what happened when she said hello to him? He ignored her? Or muttered something?
He just ignores her, but it’s hard to tell if he mutters too 😅 (I hear him talking to other people and he’s totally normal!!)
What! This is so bizarre! Over a cat in a pink harness, really? Maybe it’s for another reason you missed? I think I’d just ask him, but then that could make things even more awkward. This is a bizarre story but told in a fun way that had me captivated, and now I adore Shadow. Our black kitty is named Cocoa.
Cute! That’s a good name. My mom is coming to visit and she just told me she’d smooth things over 😂😅
