We were at this 24-hour coffee shop late one night for supper.

As the Goonfather ordered roti prata at a stall, he asked me to go sit down first. “That yellow table over there.”

I said okay and walked to the yellow table.

Ten seconds later, I walked back to the Goonfather again.

“There’s a cat sitting on the chair at the yellow table,” I informed him.

He looked over and considered the situation briefly. “Never mind, just sit down.”

So I went back and sat down opposite the cat, thinking it would bolt.

It didn’t!

And then the Goonfather came back and sat down beside the cat.

The cat looked calmly at him and then turned its head away, its body unmoving.

Of course, I took pictures.

It’s very nice to have a cat for a supper companion. The cat stayed with us throughout our meal and allowed me to stick my camera right in its face.

I think the Goonfather rather enjoyed it, too.
