The other day, I was late, and went home from the station at just before midnight.

I was walking walk along a sidewalk alone under street lamps

I happened to find ahead,

A cat

The cat looked like thinking something deeply, under weaker shine of street lights in the middle of the sidewalk.

The cat was just thinking without running away, despite of my approach.

She or he kept sitting on the sidewalk with brooding brows. I didn't know what she or he was considering, life, world, peace or something.

I was overwhelmed her or his aura and step down the sidewalk and started walking on the road side.

This is a rare case that a human gives the way to a cat.

Someone who speculated in a philosophical manner in deeply serious -- even it was a cat --- I thought that I could never bother her or him.
