I liked it seentoomuch. A very good twist. I thought for sure you were going to say that it was actually an alien. S+F. Your cat may very well
have been replaced by an alien entity though. Disguised as your very familiar feline. Placed to keep a wary on you and run tests while your watching
Star Trek re runs and drift off into its hypnotic gaze. All the while reporting back to its masters. Just my thoughts though. I have no proof.
