You pause mid stride when the bush at the corner of your campus fence jostles suddenly. Immediately your fight-or-flight kicks in, as it should for anyone who's made it to adulthood, and you prepare to bolt.
The leaves shudder and rattle once more as a black something jumps free!
*Mrrahrret*
A little short-haired black cat growls and hisses in vain trying to slip from some kind of string that's been strewn all across the branchy interior. It's surprisingly well groomed for a stray.
Stranger still it hasn't just willed itself free like you'd known other trapped animals to in the past. Maybe it already used up its latest wish?
Hesitating a moment you decide to help the poor thing out.
It takes some tugging and unwinding and a lot of disentangling, but finally the little ball of fur is free curled up in your arms, purring appreciatively.
"Eheh, guess the cat distribution system strikes again."
*Mrrah*
"Talkative lil thing huh? Well, wanna come home with me?"
