Oh the things you see on small town streets.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I live in an elementary school neighborhood - nice neighbors, kids always playing out in yards and the street. Quiet place. Nothing much happens here. Until today.

Yes this afternoon was a very strange one. It’s been a gloomy day with fog and clouds, kinda humid. Most of us were in shorts and tees because of the humidity. Kids were playing a game of ball down the street and a few were riding their bikes. I was sitting on my front patio with my cat Baby and the strange happened right in front of me.

This guy came running down the street hooting and hollering and laughing - wearing nothing but a pair of tennis shoes. NOTHING but a pair of tennis shoes. I just sat there like an idiot thinking “I can’t believe this guy! This is a small town! There’s little kids all over! What the hell is he DOING?!” and my neighbor across the street shouted “HEY PUT SOME CLOTHES ON! THAT’S JUST INDECENT!” The guy just laughed and waved at my neighbor as he ran by.

The kids all cleared the street and stood huddled in various yards watching and suddenly there was this horrible noise: PFFT!! RRRRWOOOOOW! FFFFFFFTTTT! and the guy looked behind as he ran and then screamed bloody murder and picked up his pace as this furry orange streak tore after him hell bent for leather. That was one pissed off cat!
I looked down grinning to see how Baby reacted to that one - and Baby was gone - OH MY GOD THAT’S MY CAT OUT THERE! OH MY GOD! I am NOT chasing that damn cat down when he’s chasing a naked man!** OH MY GOD!** I jumped to my feet, knocking my chair over, and yelled “BABY YOU GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE! RIGHT NOW!” and the kids and my neighbors all started laughing - Baby is well known in the neighborhood for escaping and having to be chased down. No way. NO WAY am I going after that cat. Last thing I need is someone turning a cellphone camera on me while I chase a cat chasing a naked man.

Thankfully the guy was running fast and Baby is old enough to tire easily. One of my neighbors caught Baby as he slowed to a stop still hissing at the running man and brought him back to me. The man made it around the corner of the block still screaming bloody murder. We have no idea who he was. It has to be one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen. Baby is inside now and seems quite proud of himself.

Let’s see, it’s been about 50 minutes since you posted. I’d be checking YouTube to see if he’s there yet. Good thing you didn’t go after the cat.:smiley:

Sure, it’s strange for a man to run naked down the street, but it’s even stranger that your cat was the one chasing him. Maybe you should take your cat back to the big city.

OMG thank you so much for sharing that! I needed a laugh like you wouldn’t believe, and that was a real rip-snorter. :D…:D…:D…:smiley:
