Forgetfulness Diary: Sometimes Cats, Books, and Movies: Vol. 9 Cat's Eye Dispatch

Since 'cats' rarely appear, you might be thinking that this title is a bit misleading. However, that is exactly when the star of the show makes an appearance.

So, I am Nyantaro. Actually, having given up on an Earth that breaks its record for highest temperature year after year, I transferred to the cool Sky Division last year. From now on, I plan to drop by here occasionally to deliver the Cat's Eye Dispatch.

The other day, my human mom was muttering to herself. Apparently, she was offered a seat on the bus for the first time. And it was by a gentleman who looked older than her, no less.

Mom wondered, 'Why?' regarding the reason she was offered the seat. Why did the gentleman think he should offer her his seat? Was it because of her plump figure, leading him to think she was pregnant? Or was it because of her salt-and-pepper hair that needs dyeing, making her look like an 'elderly person who should be offered a seat'?

Even though her thoughts were all over the place, in the end, she apparently sat in the offered seat. I think it's fine since she got to her destination comfortably, but for Mom, it seems to be a complicated feeling. Listening to her mutterings, I feel a bit sorry for humans, thinking they just can't be simply happy.

Don't worry, be happy.
That's the way it is, meow.
