Ella

Sometimes
I watch my cat.
And the way she doesn't like it when there's a hole in the food in her bowl.
Or how she washes herself at her water dish, by gathering a drop of water at the end of her nose and working it into her paws before worrying it into her face.
Or how she only likes to cuddle when I'm reading in bed.

Whenever I watch my cat.
Like, really watch her.
I get a bit worried.

She constantly talks to me in different sounds and meows.
She mutters under her breath at creatures in the window.
And I catch her staring when she thinks I'm not looking.

And I worry because I wonder.
What if she's trying to tell me something really important
And I'm too stupid to understand her?



Jim out.

She's probably divulging the plans for world domination. I for one welcome our new feline overlords.
