“When I was 18, I lived in Vancouver with two roommates. The two of them worked together at some door-to-door vacuum sales job (seriously). While we lived together, we got a cat named Pablo who was orange and white and part Persian. I freaking loved Pablo. After a year of living together, I was moving back home with my parents, and I offered to take the cat. However, the two of them had started dating and wanted to keep Pablo together, so I was vetoed (devastating). I left on pretty bad terms with them. I ran into them a year later when I lived in Victoria and asked them about Pablo. They told me that a month after I had left, they had decided to move to Victoria, but couldn’t find a place that allowed cats, so on their last day of their vacuum sales job, they gave him to some weird chick who had just started there. They didn’t even know her name. I was devastated.”

“Six years later, I was in Toronto meeting up with a friend who was visiting from NYC. I had only known her for about a year. We had met at a work conference, so she was pretty random and not even from Canada. We spent the afternoon shopping, then decided to go to a fancy place for drinks. She asked if we could stop by her cousin’s apartment, where she was staying, so she could change first. We went to the apartment, and I met her cousin, who was kind of weird but nice. Then, in walked the most beautiful orange and white Persian cat, who was instantly all over me. I almost cried because he reminded me so much of Pablo, so I told my friend’s cousin, ‘Oh my gosh, he looks just like my old cat Pablo!’ She was like, ‘That’s weird. His name is Pablo!’ Sure enough, he was my Pablo, and she had been the weird girl at the vacuum sales place.”
