cats ask for it by name

As I mentioned before, I now work grocery at Cub Foods. I spent a good 3 hours tonight doing what we in the business call "facing," or in lay-terms: pulling all the merchandise to the front of the shelf and rotating it so the label faces forward. A good portion of this time was spent facing Fancy Feast cat food in aisle 9. Sometime after the Gourmet Trout Dinner flavour, but before the Savoury Salmon flavour, I noticed that the cat on the can was watching me. You see, there is this white fluffy cat with horrible piercing eyes on the label of each and every can of Fancy Feast cat food, and I, the grocery worker, had to rotate each and every can such that this cat was facing forward, into the aisle, right at me. Every can that some oblivious-to-my-pains customer had errantly shoved into a less saleable barcode or ingredient revealing position, I replaced to its proper table trays upright and locked position. And as I rotated each can, the cat's face slowly came into view. Thousands of cat faces stared at me. I swear at some point, perhaps it was next to the Gourmet Ocean Fish flavour, I saw the cat's eyes glow red and watched as the label transmuted into something that clearly read, "Fancy Feast® on Zach's Soul™ Gourmet Cat Food" The Fancy Feast cat will devour my soul.
