    I lived on a farm. we had about 30+ cats. hard to pick a favorite, but as a farm kid you find them.

    one day favorite cat disappears. don’t see them for weeks, turns to months, etc.

    five years later, as a teen I go to a party at a friends house. sitting in their basement drinking a beer when a cat jumps in my lap.

    I look at the party host and ask if they got their cat about 5 years ago. “yeah, she just showed up and my sister wanted to keep her. why?” “no reason.”

    I pet on my cat the whole party and never saw it again.

    my point is, just because you can’t see them anymore doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten you.
