This should be in a museum

One evening our dog ran off into a ravine by our house. It was getting dark, so I grabbed a flash light and headed down to try to find him. A few minutes in, and I’m near the creek, with higher land to the sides and in front of me. I saw something move and played the flashlight around…at least 8 pairs of eyes staring back at me.

Part of the neighborhood’s cat colony (they’ve been TNR’d). It was a little unnerving to see that many eyes watching me like that.

Didn’t find the dog; he showed up at home about an hour later, happy as can be.

I have stared into the void, and the void meowed and licked its paw.
