Led by a human-esque cat

I was walking through a quiet neighborhood at dusk when I saw a cat sitting in the middle of the sidewalk. It was black with a little white spot on its nose, staring at me like it had been waiting. When I got closer, she stood up and started walking, looking back every couple steps to make sure I was following. I wasn’t sure why, but just blindly I followed her. We walked for what felt like hours, even though the houses never changed. Eventually, she led me to a small door in the side of a treeβ€”just big enough for a person to crawl through. She just sat next to the door, tail flicking, waiting for me to open it.

I hesitated, and the cat let out a slow, deep meow that sounded almost human. Freaked me out so bad I woke up in a panic
