Long story short: I was biking from work on Tuesday night. It was about 9:40ish PM by the time I reached Lawrence & Kenmore. Just as I was about to go past an alley, a cat, darted out of the alley from the other side. I guess he left out of one of the condos and made it to the street. As he reached me, his head hits the front wheel's spokes (and I was pedaling rather fast) and he just ran back.
No wonder people hate cats. They're furry four legged assholes.
