A neon sign flickered on and off, displaying an ominous message: ‘Cats are watching.’ Curious, he parked his truck and approached the hospital. Inside, he found only sleeping cats and a quiet nurse dozing in her chair. The neon sign blinked again, and everyone jumped—except for one little tabby who yawned and stretched, then walked over to turn off the sign with its paw. ‘Just doing my shift,’ it said.}

The statue’s paw twitched again, beckoning him like a friendly greeting. Smiling, he waved back, thinking maybe it was just a trick of the dim streetlight. But then his neighbor walked out of the hospital, glanced up, and laughed, ‘Hey, old friend, you’re finally awake!’

The staff at VCA City Cats Hospital immediately fell in love with the adorable stray.

Curious, he opened it and found himself surrounded by dozens of sleepy kittens playing with yarn balls. A voice behind him chuckled softly: 'They’re just having their afternoon nap.'
