My Landlord Added Me to the Pets-Only Group Chat

Summary

After moving into my new apartment, I was added to a strange group chat. Everyone in it pretended to be an animal. Every day, I'd lurk, fascinated by their conversations, but I never said a word.

That all changed the day a mouse got into my apartment.

I posted in the chat: “Is there a reliable pest control service nearby?”

A moment later, a user named ‘AAA Pest Control: Leo’ tagged me.

[Two cans. Non-negotiable.]

[Cat’s at your door. Open up.]

And standing outside my door... was an actual tabby cat.
