hello, Kitten

The other day, while I was walking to the bus stop to go to work, a little black kitten appeared. It ran in front of me and then stopped, and stood a few feet ahead of me. I walked past it, and then it darted up in front of me and stopped again. Is this kitten following me? But pretending to lead? I decided to turn around and walk in the opposite direction, and see what kitten would do then. Kitten did the same thing when I walked in the opposite direction. I petted him a bit. But I had to go to work, so I turned again and continued to the bus stop. After a certain point, about thirty or so meters ahead of a main road, kitten stopped following me, but mewed loudly over and over again, until I was too far to hear kitten.

On the way to work, I thought, what if kitten followed me home? I could keep it, and get cat food from Price Chopper, and maybe put an old sweater in a shoebox and that could be kitten's bed, and maybe I could name him Sebastian if kitten is a boy, or Morgan if kitten is a girl, so wouldn't have to keep calling him or her 'kitten' like a retard, and oh I would need a litter box, and maybe a little tub for when kitten needs a bath eventually.

I've been making excuses to walk down that street where kitten followed me, when I have had no reason to go there, in case I might see it again, but I haven't yet. He probably belongs to somebody, but I liked his company very much.

In conclusion, I want a kitten.
