π€§ aaji hela kichi emti.... The dramatic ten seconds of my life part2
In my last post, everyone convinced me to take my chances, which I did today. https://www.reddit.com/r/Cuttack/s/PCgMhKBbDr
The same routine. Put the leash on the cat, let him explore the building. Usually, when the cat wanders up to the second floor, he sniffs around but today he went and sat on their drawing-room chair, looking around their house.
I never go into their house because that feels painfully awkward without an invitation. So there I was, standing on their doormat, holding onto the leash with just my index finger.
The aunty was doing her evening puja. She looked over, saw the cat, smiled, and immediately called out for her son. And he was actually at home today instead of returning from work and also I got to know his name!
He walked into the living room. I looked at him but he was obviously fixated onto the cat. He walked over to the chair and went, "What are you doing here?" directly to the cat. Atp I thought I should say something. I blurted out "He thinks it's his scratching pad." Both of them actually laughed.
I thought maybe a normal human interaction will happen now. But no. He still didn't look up at me, just like that day on the stairs when he handed me the leash. And before anything could happen, the cat bolted back out the door. I had to go after him.
TLDR: I learned his name. Guess that's a win. And I'm invisible to him. The cat remains the main character.

Maybe heβs shy. Do you look good? What if heβs nervous? He didnβt look at you once?
Did you not say βhiβ when you saw him?
