  last weekend my sister dropped off her cat whiskers for us to babysit while she went on a silent Retreat now whiskers always seemed like an ordinary cat but when we set him down in the living room he immediately started performing the most intricate MIM routine I've ever seen at first we thought he was just stretching but then he began doing the classic trapped in an invisible box act my friends and I were mesmerized questioning the very fabric of our walls as whiskers expertly minded climbing an imaginary lad the neighbors came over perplexed by the sight of a group of adults applauding an oblivious cat just as we were about to call a talent agent whiskers casually strolled over nudged his food bowl and meowed impatiently it turns out he wasn't miming he was just really good at ignoring us as we laughed at the absurdity my friend
