5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: magical realism

I almost attempted the prompt for Thursday, but after a long stressful day, I found myself passing out in my chair. So, here is my entry. A day late is better than not doing it at all. :)

Yesterday I got to meet the coolest orange cat ever. It was actually the fourth time seeing him. Usually orange cats are a bit on the crazy side. Well, while I was proceeding to do my job, I look down and the said cat was a few feet from me. I softly spoke to him and he sat there looking up at me. It almost looked like he tried to meow but nothing came out. Then as I watched, he would slowly close and reopen his eyes, while looking up at me. That is one of cats ways to let you know they are calm, like a friendly gesture. It was almost a magical realism, seeing how he reacted to me. But hey, what can I say, I am known as a cat whisperer. Who needs magic for that? I have this magnet I carry around with me, that attracts most animals to me. But it would sure be nice if it would do the opposite for spiders. I love animals, and most love me. There is something magical about the way they all interact with me. Even if I run a vacuum, they sometimes stay near me, knowing I am not there to hurt them. I wonder if I was an animal in a past life.
(rubs chin and thinks.."Hmmm, yeah probably not").

Ahh snap. Guess what I just did, or rather didn't do? I was plucking away and was thinking, wow I am getting a lot written here for 5 minutes. I stopped as I ran out of what to say, then looked at timer. Yeah, they usually work better if you hit the start button. (face palm)..
So, I may have gone a minute or two over the 5. But, I like what I wrote, so I was not going to restart and hope I write the same stuff.
