A Black Cat in the Garden?

At night, there was a black animal in the garden.
Because it was dark, I thought it was a cat.
I put only a little milk in a cup and went outside.
I said, “Please drink,” but the animal did not move.
When I turned on the garden light, it was my old hat.
Because it wasn’t a cat, it was a little funny.
