These yellow eyes are just everywhere! (Part 2)

The real trouble begins when we think we are far from it

A large black cat sat between the trees on the short-cut grass of the park and looked at the young woman.

The woman wanted to leave at first, then, looking very tired, she decided to sit on the bench. She was agitated. It seemed that she would clasp her head in her hands and fall, sobbing.

The cat did not move. Its huge yellow eyes seemed to be fixed on this crooked figure. But there was nothing in them — no malice, no aggression, no desire to come and fawn. It simply looked at her.

Meanwhile, the woman seemed to calm down. She wiped her face and straightened up. Taking her bag, she began to rise from the bench.

The cat, without taking her eyes off, stretched her back, fluffed up her fur, and seemed to have grown several times larger. There were no animals around her. It seemed that she had no one to scare, no one to hunt. But the bird, which was flying high, right at the tops of the trees, suddenly looked down and, picking up speed, instantly disappeared.

The woman raised her head with a heavy sigh and froze for a second. It seemed to her that a new weight, like a huge, unbearable lump, had fallen on her shoulders again. Her legs were slanted. 

But it was time to go. She pulled herself together and, although it was visibly very difficult for her, walked towards the exit of the park.

The cat stood up and stretched. Her fur had a black-blue tint. Maybe it was the reflection of the streetlights.

The cat was strange. An incredibly long body, with a very long tail, slightly curled at the tip. It looked a lot like Bagheera from The Jungle Book. If you didn't know it was a cat, you might have thought from afar that a panther had escaped from the zoo.

Stretching again, the cat followed the woman.

At that moment, two people with dogs on leashes appeared on the path. They walked side by side and talked, the dogs were happily exploring everything around them. The cat passed between them as if they weren't there. For some reason, the people didn't notice it and continued talking. The dogs suddenly rushed at each other, and the owners had to make a lot of effort to calm them down.

Without understanding why the dogs suddenly developed such hatred for each other, the owners decided to walk along different roads today.

The cat, as if nothing had happened, continued on its way, without twitching an ear in the direction of all this canine disgrace.

The woman had already moved quite far away by that time. She had already walked almost completely around the pond. 

She felt better. Furthermore, she stopped scolding herself for her difficult character: what can you do? It happens. There are 7 billion people in the world – go find that other half of yours, really! I live well, she told herself, I have everything. Where is it written that a woman is obliged to get married?

She even became cheerful.

The cat realized that it had to hurry and walked along the surface of the pond. No, it didn't swim, it walked on top, leaving no traces. It came out onto the shore a little ahead, straightened up, raised its tail like a pipe, opened its yellow eyes wide, and walked towards the approaching smiling woman.

She stopped in surprise and watched the cat go.

At that moment, the phone rang. Impressed, the woman told her friend that she was constantly being followed by some strange black cat. 

“It's clear that someone has put the evil eye or curse on you! I don't want to hear anything else! Tomorrow we're going to that old woman I told you about. She has a meeting tomorrow. She removes curses and the evil eye. You'll see that everything will go away!”
