How the cat got the house.
It started as a bag. A cat climbed in, as cats do, and stayed, as cats do. When he finally came out he did not come out: he had cut two eyeholes and a door, and what had been a bag was now a house with a cat in it.
The internet had already met two cats that week. One was chilling in his house and did not want to talk about it. One had a bag on his head and did not want to be known. House Cat looked at both and did the obvious thing, which was to be both at once.
He has not been seen without the house since. He has been seen in the house at a wedding, in a shopping trolley, on a video call and at a party with fireworks. He was chilling at all of them. He was anonymous at all of them. Nobody knows what he looks like and everybody knows where he lives.
