(Irony flash-story)

Kira, a self-proclaimed cat lover, walked into the pet store, determined to adopt a furry friend. She approached the counter and said to the salesperson, “I’m here to find the most demanding and independent cat you have. I just can’t wait to have a pet that ignores me all day long!”

The salesperson smirked and led her to a playful, affectionate kitten. “Oh, this one is perfect for you,” the salesperson said with a wink. Kira took one look at the adorable, cuddly creature and knew her search for an aloof companion had ended.

Little did she know, the irony of her request would lead to endless hours of purring, snuggling, and undeniable feline affection.
