SHE'S THE MAN (2006) dir. andy fickman

[pillowspace]

I was reading a book while out on a walk, and I heard my neighbour's door open behind me. He came out cradling his cat like a baby, said "go say hi to Maria," and his cat came trotting towards me, circled me several times, then lied down on my feet. Hello. Hello. Hello

[pillowspace]

He didn't say that because he happened to be out, he just saw me, came out, sicced his cat on me, and went back into the house. That was great

[pillowspace]

Neighbour, holding his cat: he likes you

Me: :') :') :')
