At the moment of sunset, an army of stray cats appears on campus. They are usually fed by the security guards, meaning they think every person is a food dispenser and are not shy of people. They’re perfect for the animal lover who misses home.

On a related note, my friends and I were walking home at night when suddenly we heard a scream and saw a blur running up a palm tree. A cat had chased a mouse up the palm tree. To get down, she dropped the mouse and landed on top of it before scuttling away to eat in peace.

I didn’t know mice could climb palm trees. Or that cats could run, not climb, straight up them.
