A little old lady went to buy cat food. She picked up three cans, but was told by the cashier: “I’m sorry, but we can’t sell this to you without proofyou have a cat. Too many seniors are

buying cat food, and we’ve had issues with people reselling it.”

The little old lady, named Edith, looked at the cashier with a twinkle in her eye. “Well, that’s a new one. What kind of proof do you need?”

The cashier hesitated for a moment before responding, “A picture of your cat should do.”

Edith chuckled and pulled out her wallet, revealing a series of adorable cat photos. “I never thought I’d need a cat portfolio to buy cat food,” she quipped.

Impressed by Edith’s sense of humor, the cashier allowed her to proceed with her purchase. Edith left the store, shaking her head at the absurdity of the situation. Little did she know that this seemingly mundane encounter would set in motion a heartwarming chain of events.

As Edith walked home, she couldn’t shake off the humor of having to prove she had a cat. She shared the story with her neighbors, sparking laughter and camaraderie among the residents of her senior living community. The incident became a source of amusement, with everyone joking about needing pet portfolios for their routine purchases.
