What's Your Superpower?
No, this isn't a meme. My best friend has a cousin who believes that everyone is born with a superpower. It's just that most people's superpowers are so lame that they don't even notice they have one. I actually have two.
One is the power of cat attraction. If I go to a barn or some other place where semi-feral cats who don't normally seek out human contact hang out, all I have to do is sit down and within five minutes, every cat in the place will be all over me. Occasionally, one will try to follow me home.
One time when I was in high school, my best friend was down in the arena working with her horse while I did my homework on the couch in the tack room. Within minutes, the entire couch was covered in cats. They filled up the cushions, armrests, couch back, the chair I was propping my feet up on, and my legs that were propped up on the chair. There must've been at least twenty-five cats in there with me just keeping me company. I wish I had a picture.
Another time, the BF and I went on vacation to the Soviet Union (back when it was still in one piece). Cats aren't popular pets there, or at least they weren't at the time, but many hotels and restaurants did have a resident cat. The hotel we stayed at in Kiev did. She was a little skittish at first, but she let me pet her once, and after that she would come find me when I was in a common area of the hotel and ask for a petting. She ran away from the other people who were with me.
My other superpower is the ability to make other cars change lanes on the expressway by turning on my turn signal. If I need to change lanes and there's only one gap in traffic, all I have to do is turn on my turn signal and a random car will suddenly change lanes into that gap. Every freaking time.
