Diary of a Quarantined Cat: Dating

I was shocked and amazed with how many responses I received on my dating profile. Especially because dating is difficult for indoor cats, so we're often matched with outdoor cats. I responded to a grey and white kitty who lives in the neighborhood, and he came by earlier this week.

I had really high hopes. We listed a lot of the same interests on our profiles: stinky fish, chasing flies, napping, etc. It seemed like a match made in heaven. But when he came by, he wouldn't stop talking about how he "couldn't imagine" being an indoor cat, and could never live a "caged-in" life. At first it made me feel insecure, but then it just really started to get on my nerves.

As not to be rude, I let the date continue, but I was barely engaged. After listening to a long-winded speech about how it takes living outdoors to develop real grit, I told him my humans are calling me for dinner. Surprisingly, he asked when he could see me again! Some felines are just clueless!
