WASHINGTON — Today's Most D.C. Thing comes to us from DCist, which posted a story about an unlikely bright spot for commuters at the Branch Avenue Metro Station, a black cat who shows up to hang out at the station every day.
A black cat crossing everyone's paths on the way to work each morning sounds like peak 2020. However, passengers love seeing this cat at the station, with one saying it reminds him of Salem the Cat from "Sabrina The Teenage Witch."
Once again, it's 2020. People should find joy wherever they can these days! Riders say that this cat is friendly and makes them happy, so hopefully it will continue to stop by each day. If this cat is like any other in D.C., if the station manager feeds it once, it will never stop visiting.
This is the Most D.C. Thing because anything that makes commuting to and from work less mundane is always appreciated. Also, D.C. is not big on profiling. It's nice to see that this black cat is being judged not by the color of it's fur, but by the content of it's character.
