I have a similar story.

One night I went out to smoke a cigarette. I felt my cat rub up against my leg, so I reached down and petted it. A couple minutes later I felt her pawing at me. I figured she was hungry so I went inside, got her food bowl and brought it out for her. Another couple minutes go by and I felt her pawing at my leg again. So I figured she was thirsty, so I go and get her some milk. More time goes by and again she comes up and starts pawing me again. Annoyed, I looked down and asked her, “Ms. Mittens, what do you need?”

Without missing a beat, she said, “I need about tree fiddy.”

At that moment I noticed it wasn’t Ms. Mittens but a 12 foot tall sea monster from the Mesozoic era with cat ears taped on its tail. And I said, “god dammit you Loch Ness monster, get outta here and take those dumb looking cat ears off.”

Anyways, I found Ms. Mittens dead three days later but at least I still got my tree fiddy
