I'm a little confused... How does one accidentally stalk someone?

'I was proceeding down the high street, officer, when I happened to slip on a banana skin; I then proceeded to slide almost half a mile in a chaotic fashion, lurching from street to street - honestly, I must have seemed like one of those chaotic pin balls you find in those quaint 1960's machines - when I came crashing to a halt immediately outside the young lady's house at precisely the moment when she appeared to go to work...'

Next time I leave my own house wearing a floaty summer dress, though, I'll be sure to carry my blush-saving 'modesty cat' in case of any unexpected gusts of wind.

The summary makes it sound like a magic pixie dream girl trope, minus the manic pixie dream girl. Like, doesn't all those things make her a completely normal, everyday person?

In Japan, one's cat is joined at the hip, or as close to one's hip as possible

Ah. I thought it was there because of an ingenious wired contraption. Still, something comfortable to cushion her if she needs to sit down suddenly.
