「你是Mei-Mei嗎？」

我問著眼前的小虎斑貓。

牠喵喵的兩聲。

我看著牠的瘦小身形，

察覺牠不是Mei-Mei。

拿起相機想拍下牠可愛的模樣。

牠直接躺下自在地翻滾，

還打起大呵欠來。

我準備離開，

牠像跟我熟識般的繞著我身邊打轉，

跟著我前進。

快到巷口時，

我跟牠說：

「有車子，你不要跟了。

要注意車子哦！」

說完後，

虎斑貓就沒再跟上。

哇！

貓咪真的聽得懂我們說的話耶！

"Are you Mei-Mei?"

I asked the little tabby cat.

It meowed twice.

Looking at its tiny, skinny body,

I realized it wasn’t Mei-Mei.

I picked up my camera to take a picture of it, but it suddenly flopped onto the ground, rolled around, and let out a huge yawn.

When I started to leave, it wove around my legs as if we’d known each other forever and followed me down the alley.

As we reached the end of the alley,

I said,

"Don’t follow me anymore, okay?

There are cars up ahead. Be careful."

Just like that,

it stopped following me.

Wow...

Cats really do understand us!
