**BREAKING: FELINE FRENZY HITS SUBURBS AS WOMAN INUNDATED WITH CALLS ABOUT NONEXISTENT CAT**
In a bizarre incident that has left residents of Oakdale, USA, scratching their heads, a local woman received over 50 frantic phone calls in a single day about a cat that doesn’t actually exist.
According to reports, Sarah Johnson, 32, was flooded with calls from concerned citizens who claimed to have seen a “feral cat” roaming the neighborhood. However, when asked to describe the feline in question, each caller provided a wildly different description.
“I got calls saying it was a grey cat with white paws, then a black cat with a pink nose, and even one guy said it was a cat with six legs!” Johnson exclaimed. “I was like, ‘Uh, I think you might be mistaken… or maybe you’ve just been watching too many cat videos’.”
The chaos began when Johnson wore a T-shirt with a cartoon cat on it while running errands. The shirt, which read “I’m not lazy, I’m just conserving cat energy,” apparently sparked a wave of confusion among passersby.
“I was at the grocery store, and someone asked me if I was the owner of the ‘lost cat,'” Johnson said, laughing. “I was like, ‘Uh, no, I’m just wearing a funny shirt… and also, I’m not sure I could ever afford to own a cat, I’m barely keeping myself alive’.”
As the day went on, the calls continued to pour in, with some residents even offering to help Johnson “find” the nonexistent cat. One particularly concerned citizen even offered to lend Johnson a cat carrier, complete with a tiny oxygen tank and a miniature cat-sized ambulance.
“I think people just love cats that much,” Johnson joked. “Or maybe they just love making phone calls. Either way, I’m happy to provide entertainment for the neighborhood… and also, I’m starting to think I should just get a real cat, just to make everyone’s day.”
When asked if she planned on taking any action to clear up the confusion, Johnson simply shrugged and said, “Hey, at least it’s not boring around here. And who knows, maybe I’ll start a cat-themed business… ‘Feline Frenzy’ has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?”
The incident has left residents of Oakdale in stitches, with many taking to social media to poke fun at the situation.
“I guess you could say it’s been a purr-fectly hilarious day,” quipped one Twitter user.
Johnson, meanwhile, is just enjoying the ride. “Who needs a actual cat when you can have a T-shirt and a good sense of humor?” she said with a grin. “And also, if anyone needs me, I’ll be over here, enjoying my newfound fame as the ‘Cat Lady of Oakdale’.”
