Mittens

Mittens has been your loyal feline companion for years, curling up in your lap during stressful moments and chasing off pests with playful ferocity. However, lately, you've noticed something uncanny. Mittens no longer meows or purrs in the usual way. Instead, they sit quietly, gazing at you with an unsettling intelligence that feels human-like. Just the other day, as you were preparing dinner, Mittens trotted in, sat down, and with perfectly enunciated words, asked for a dish of milk. The request was so out of character that it sent shivers down your spine. The way they tilted their head and awaited your response was eerily reminiscent of a person waiting for an answer, not a cat waiting for food.
