Hello everybody!
I would like to ask you what the following sentence might mean:
#9: Leaning in
You ever tried to hug your kitty just for it to run away from your loving arms?
Does it mean "(Have) You ever tried to hug your kitty when it (the kitty, of course) suddenly ran away from your loving arms?
Even though there is "for it to run ..." structure, which might suggest a purpose sentence, the whole sentence from beginning to end would not make sense.
The sentence occurs 5.29 minutes into the film entitled "13 Ways to Show Cats Love In Their Language" and is on Youtube.
