My Cat Made Me Laugh in Public—Again

So there I was, video-calling my friend from a crowded café, trying to look like a functioning adult. Enter: my cat, Mr. Pickles, who decided this was the perfect moment to launch a full-scale attack on an invisible enemy (aka his own tail). He spun, he leapt, he crashed into a potted plant. I tried to keep a straight face, but nope—snorted coffee right up my nose. Everyone stared. My friend nearly dropped her phone laughing. Honestly, I don’t know what’s more embarrassing: my inability to keep it together, or the fact that Mr. Pickles is now convinced he saved us all from imminent tail-related doom. Pets have this magical ability to turn us into giggling fools at the worst possible moments. Zero regrets, though. If laughing at your pet’s ridiculous antics isn’t self-care, I don’t know what is. #PetLife #CatComedy #EmbarrassingMoments #Pets
