Having also been a user of broken English in the past, i shall attempt to translate.

There was a kitten sleeping on a bed, in a closed bed shop. OP walked in front of the shop and saw the owner (this is what they refere to passed) who was aware of the kitten but did not kick it out. Therefore OP says they're a good owner.

Thank you. I am actually British, but I merely adopted the beauty of broken english through a touch of alcohol. You have done well.

Regardless, still one of my best titles.

Jeezus... I read titles as "titt-els" because it's so damn early and I need caffeine and now I'm not going to be able to see or hear the word title without giggling.

Oh same in Canada. Go to a bar and for draught beer it’s usually a stein, pint, or tankard/schooner.

Sometimes if you’re feeling fancy you can even order a pony or a jug

LMAO, here we were thinking you were a non native English speaker and generously "interpreting" you, when in reality, you were just a drunk Brit.

I thought the owner of the kitten passed away. And the kitten was sad.

Regnes t1_iy79e6y wrote

I also interpret the quotations around "stray" implies this kitty is not truly homeless anymore and lives in the store lol.

Fresh-Currency-6286 t1_iy87s4p wrote

I too interpret the citations around “stray” indicating the cat is not truly lost anymore and vitalities in the shop giggle out noisy.

litalra t1_iy7z9ji wrote

I appreciate this!

Legit thought it meant the owner passed away, and the kitty was locked/trapped inside 😭

TheGrinningSkull t1_iy7jfk0 wrote

I had completely misinterpreted the title as the bed was put up in this store as the owner of the cat has passed, hence cat becoming stray and reminiscing its owner which followed where the bed was going. What a good owner that was.

Complete backstory and everything. I knew it was too good to be true for a cat doing this instead of a dog.

16

redhillducks t1_iy7x6q7 wrote

I had the exact same interpretation. I thought the stray cat had a sentimental attachment to the bed, which belonged to its late owner.

Thanks. I was trying and just couldn’t parse it out.

No judgement. This person’s English is way better than my version of… well, every other language on earth. And a great picture.

Fresh-Currency-6286 t1_iy87cjn wrote

Retaining furthermore stood a user of damaged English in history, and I shall try to decipher.

A kitty was napping on a mattress, in a closed mattress store. The op walked into the masquerade of the store and saw the lessor ( this is what they direct to as expired) who was conscious of the kitty but did not boot it out. Accordingly, the original poster says they're adequate.

HarleyyR OP t1_iy7ucuo wrote

I am here to update everyone on the title, I was not in the right mindset to write cohesive english it seems.

This place is a bed/furnishing store, it was past opening hours and this kitten, which is stray (as are many around here) was taken in by the owner to live in the store or atleast sleep/be safe!

i love the comments though please do keep them coming.

What was the meaning of "passed" in the title?

1

TBElektric t1_iy8oizo wrote

This definition is one of ... He was passing by the store, this is the window display at the front of the store, and the OP was passing by and saw the kitty in a happy warm sleep.

Not the other definition of passed as it appears.

HarleyyR OP t1_iy8zf1b wrote

i still cant believe i typed “owner i passed”

TBElektric t1_iy8zwwt wrote

I mean.. as a previous cat owner... I know for a fact that that cat is now the owner of that store.. 😆 so you technically just missed "the" at the beginning of that 🤣

K-Bear8758 t1_iy76jmc wrote

Several stores in my area get "Barn Cats" from the local shelter to keep rats/ mice off of their inventory. The local shelter gets strays all the time. Instead of killing the strays when they have too many, they neuter them and put them back where they were caught or they give them to local businesses that are willing to house them. The cats usually aren't raised to be social but will hang around certain areas where they have comfortable accommodations and food and will make sure those areas are free of pests. They are usually taken by farmers wanting cats to keep rats out of their barns, hence the name "barn Cats", but recently they have been sending several to Home Depot garden centers and other nurseries.

theUttermostSnark t1_iy720yo wrote

Thank you for sharing this! Rodents are a big problem in a large showroom, and a cat or two can easily keep a large rodent population at bay, which is why farmers often have many barnyard cats that they feed that are more rodent-eating employee than pet.

Smooth, shiny, unattractive but practical attachment method - definitely shower curtains. Unless it's for bedrooms with a lot of, err... spraying

imaginaryblues t1_iy6vsgq wrote

The picture is taken through a window…the curtains aren’t shiny. Don’t appear to be standard shower curtain width either.

I don’t know, this is obviously outside of the US so curtain styles may be different. Doesn’t really matter to me either way.

agretsukko79 t1_iy9794y wrote

They might not be shiny, but they fold and crease as if they're not from a very soft and pliable fabric, but something tarp-y. I love how pointless this conversation is :)

imaginaryblues t1_iy9cbgf wrote

It is entirely pointless!

See I would disagree, I think the curtains are just wrinkled. Either way, not a very good store display.

I ID'ed them as shower curtains b/c they're too GODD*MN UGLY to hang anywhere but the bathroom- & the one in the basement at that! LOL!

turnoffthe8track t1_iy74e39 wrote

I think those are just regular curtains being used to separate the display window from the rest of the store.

That stray is modeling for the store. In return, a place to stay, probably a meal or two. Looks like a win/win.

Your comments don’t explain who’s caring for the cat now that the owner’s passed away. Has the kitten been taken to a shelter and fostered into a home? Who’s looking after the kitten now?
