Hot take: I clicked a mattress ad at 2am in Des Moines just because it knew my cat's name | Ads We Actually Clicked

Last Tuesday around 2am I was scrolling on my phone in bed in Des Moines and an ad popped up with a gray tabby that looked exactly like my cat Otis. It said 'Otis needs his sleep too' and I clicked it so fast I almost dropped my phone on my face. Turned out it was just a retargeting thing pulling from my camera roll, but I still sat there for ten minutes reading about memory foam. Did anyone else get got by a creepy smart ad like this, or am I the only one who falls for a cat face?
