It started as a joke. I had seen those videos online—people pretending to faint or collapse just to see how their pets would react. Dogs usually panicked, licking faces, barking, trying to “save” their owners. Cats… well, cats had a reputation. Aloof. Indifferent. The kind of creatures that might step over your body like you were just inconvenient furniture.
And I wanted to know.
My cat, Luna, wasn’t exactly affectionate. She tolerated me more than she loved me, or at least that’s how it felt. She showed up when she wanted food, disappeared when she didn’t, and treated my existence like a background detail in her day. So part of me already expected the result.
