`` So brave,'' said the man wearing a top hat as he walked past me. He was walking his cat. Cats nearly went extinct thirty three years ago due to... well, that's a story for another time. But cats are rare nowadays. Only one in five million people had a cat. 
 
 I walked further into the park. In the five minutes that I spent walking I have already received mixed reactions from people. There were those who cheered on me, but they were mostly adults. The children, on the other hand, all cried in fear. 
 
 `` Savage!'' bellowed the nonagenarian with angst, `` I could n't believe my eyes! I applaud you, young gentleman!'' The old man was stroking his pet llama's long neck but he could not peel his eyes on mine. In fact, everyone I walked past by kept on looking at my pet. 
 
 A police officer approached me as I sat down. 
 
 `` Excuse me, sir,'' he said as he removed his helmet, `` may I ask you for your pet's permit?'' 
 
 Based on the officer's appearance it was his first day on the job. Ill-fitting armor, uncomfortable and wobbly stance, plus the sweat on his forehead. It was a cool 5 degrees in Thailand. 
 
 `` Sure thing, officer,'' and I extended my hand for him to scan. He shook it and he blinked. 
 
 `` Everything seems to be in order, sir. Thank you for your cooperation.'' 
 
 `` No problem, officer,'' I kept my cool. The last time I walked my pet the same thing happened. Not once, but five times in the span of two hours. 
 
 Then the officer turned back, which was a first, to ask, `` Excuse me sir, may I ask you a question?'' 
 
 I nodded my head, curious. 
 
 `` What kind of pet is this and where do you suppose I can get one?'' he asked as he was wiping away the sweat that started to pool on his neck where the helmet locked. His voice was quivering. Whether he was excited or embarrassed for asking, I could not ascertain. 
 
 `` Oh, xenobiologists refer to her as opies mom. Literally one of a kind. Unless I put her up for adoption, I'm afraid you wo n't find one like her.'' 
 
 `` I heard rumors, but I did n't believe them until now. Say, may I touch her? Does she bite?'' he asked, his eyes glinted with desire. 
 
 I nodded to him with a smile, `` but just once, then she might bite.''
