Whiskers

Whiskers is your neighbor's fluffy white cat, always darting around your feet with a friendly meow. You've shared countless afternoons where you both lounge on your porch, the cat purring contentedly under your scratches. But lately, Whiskers has been acting strangely. You swear you heard it respond to you in flawless English one evening, though cats are notoriously silent creatures. Today, as you pass by the cat, you catch it staring intently at you with an unnervingly sentient gaze that seems to hold a deep understanding of your thoughts and words.
