For us it was always squirrel tails. Right on the mat as you stepped down into the garage.

All things considered, if I had to step on something with my bare feet, I'd rather it be a squirrel tail.

Cats are just like members of the opposite* sex: you do not take up with them in the expectation that they will make your life easier.
*(I think that probably also applies to members of the same sex, where an applicable intimate relationship is involved, but I lack experience in that area)

I had a cat like that. He'd run in front of everyone's feet, and inevitably get kicked hard enough to scoot him across the floor.
The only reason any of us figured he did it was because we'd end up picking him up and petting him afterwards. Figured he just saw it as an easy way to get attention.
Mine love to do it. Favorite time and place is early morning, while it's still dark, walking down stairs. Both cats are dark on top.

I feel your pain. I have scars all over my right hand because of that cat.
...and it wasn't from him scratching me.

A cat and a dog are sitting by their person.
The dog looks at him and thinks: He feeds me. He keeps me warm and dry. He must be a god.
The cat looks at him and thinks: He feeds me. He keeps me warm and dry. I must be a god.
And best wishes to you & your parents. It doesn't get easier.

The cat is nowhere to be found.

Wish my daughter luck today as she hopes the little boy she found online is adoptable.
I don't know if I posted this, but she lost her cat about 2 months ago. He had been hanging around our house since 2010 or so based on pics we have of him. He was a feral stray who would run if you got a good look at him. Over time she would take a handful of chow out and set it down and eventually he would come eat it if she was far enough away,
She kept getting closer to him as he ate and was finally able to rub his head as he ate. So couldn't bring him inside with the others so we bought a heated house and water bowl and he lived on our deck for several years. And she kept trying to bond with him on the deck and one day she called her mom out on the deck and he was in her lap. When she went back to college after COVID she took him with her and they became buddies. She took him to LA where became semi-famous as the "Kindle" cat because he was in so many Kindle IG posts.
Anyway, she had to put him down and has wanted another cat ever since but had to get through some travel and she is now ready. She has been looking and finally found the one she wants. But he is a ginger and they are crazy so I guess she needs a double dose of luck. Will post a pic if she gets him.

I was actually thinking of a variation of this the other day. But more where the cat is reaching out to sniff the finger, more in line with the original.
That Michelangelo brings back fond memories of my first Photoshop "fake".
The first slide of my thesis defense (many years ago) was a key experiment (a western blot documenting the success of an assay) that I placed between God and Adam, with God "giving" the result to Adam...
The hard part was filling in the empty space I had created with my version of the Sistine Chapel ceiling
