Surreal
I have two cats. Unusual sounds don't bother me, or wake me up. I awoke at some point this morning; however, to a sound coming from outside my window. I leave my bedroom window open at night, though the shade and blind are pulled down. I got up and peered out. Looking back at me was a cat. My cat.
My mind began to put pieces together and I reasoned that he must have knocked the screen off and gotten out. I therefore reach out to grab him and pull him back inside. One problem, the screen is still there.
"How curious", I thought, "My cat teleported outside, but at least he didn't run away and seems to want back in."
Then I started to doubt that my cat could teleport himself, which overall I feel is a good thing. So I nudged the corner of the screen and it bent outward.
"Ah hah!" I said, relieved that my cat did not, indeed, have magical properties. He just used his hard head to push the screen open and slipped outside.
It all ended well. I pushed the screen off, grabbed the fuzzy bastard and pulled him back inside. I then slammed the window shut.
As I drifted off back to sleep I recalled that I had two cats, so in my sleepy malaise I figured I'd better make sure that the other one was still inside. Fortunately I saw him hunkered down on the edge of the bed.
As you can see, everything ended well. One cat does not have supernatural powers and the other isn't bright enough to escape.

LOL a teleporting cat. You have an outrageous imagination... Your (non)magical cat could have had so many adventures worth blogging about too! ;)
