My name is Alex, and I am the Mayor of Carmelita Street - a charming tree-lined dead end street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood of San Francisco. I share the your concerns about too much togetherness with my human, who has been spending far too much time at home. But I actually have a question I haven’t seen yet in your column (I am a regular reader and couldn’t believe my luck when Libby told me she knew you). When I am out doing my daily rounds of my kingdom, the humans seem to steer clear of me. Humans who in the past have been friendly to me, now cross the street when they see me as if I have some sort of plague. Is Nemo still the mayor of Lisbon Street? If so, he has been at it a long time. Is he experiencing this same phenomenon?

Dear Mayor of Carmelita Street,
That's so interesting. The last time I saw Nemo he did allude to something along those lines. I was so angry with him, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Although I remember that he said that things are changing, and that the humans seem afraid. I didn't ask him to elaborate - I thought he was just changing the subject on me. Now I wish I had asked more questions.
I wonder if that's why the humans are home all the time - because they're afraid of something out there. It seems strange that they don't want to give you any pets or attention though. My humans won't leave me alone.
All I can say is be careful out there! It's a scary world already, and it sounds like something's made it a whole lot scarier. Maybe now is a time to tell the people or cats in your life that you love them.
I hope Nemo is OK...
XOXO,
Bubbles
