Dear Athenian Poet, while 24-hour shopping is convenient, the fact remains that those patronizing an establishment outside of standard hours (1am would fall into this category) may be considered to some as a bit “unusual” and possibly prone to alternate forms of communication involving non-human sounds. Methinks you doth protest too much this sensation of creepy else you would never have penned this missive. You too were shopping at 1am – perhaps there is more in common here than you think? Just remember that while the dark side can be appealing it should be approached with open eyes as feral tom cats abound.
Gentle Readers: In reviewing the situation of the grocery store meower what is the best course of action for our Lovelorn Poet? Will curiosity kill a cat? Will satisfaction bring it back?

You make a good point! Perhaps I shall loiter in various 24-hour shopping establishments until I meet my feline suitor once again. We will live happily ever after in his basement apartment filled with headless dolls and locks of hair.

Ooooohhhh… headless dolls and locks of hair… sounds like cat-man would fit in nicely with the couple from San Francisco who were recently featured on these pages – https://www.lovelornpoets.com/2011/01/07/her-two-cents-geriatric-barbie-seeks-miniature-rodin/. Maybe volunteering for the local ASPCA would be a more pleasant option.
