My brother in law Mark is standing outside my ‘ao’ set front door, watching an unidentified animal running around in the rice fields that happen to be growing across the road. At first he thinks it is a giant panda (left side component) but as he watches the animal leaps forward through a rose bush and lands on his lap with a rose still stuck to it.....of course he now recognises its a cat 🐱 as it curls up and purrs at him.

Matt Damon is at the entrance of my "ao" location. He has come to talk to his neighbour, the Tasmanian Devil, about his CAT, who keeps meowing all night and disturbing Matt's sleep. The Tasmanian Devil is apologetic and wants to give Matt something for his trouble. He brings him through the house to the backyard, which is a rice field planted with roses. He picks an armful and gives them to Matt to take home. Lo and behold, just as Matt turns to return home, the CAT shows up and starts yowling again. The Tasmanian Devil just shrugs his shoulders with an apologetic grin on his face.

A farmer offers a hyena a flower and it is so touched that it turns into a gentle little purring cat.
