Watch the story and/or read the written version below:
I’ve conveyed this story in a few different venues, platforms, and variations over the last decade. This video is of the first and only time so far that I’ve performed it off the page, in a less literary and more physicalized and memorized style.
Today I offer you the video version from my live show last month and the version I published right here two years ago. There exists in my mind a third version that is the “perfect” edit of all of these, but I’ll put this aspiration aside for now. “Our Lost Cat” is a story that I tend to revisit every few years and, as I get older, I find out what it’s actually about — and what is just distraction.
I love your stories and comedy!!! I love (more so loved in a past life) storytelling in this way! I’m delighted. Thank you.
