Neither she nor I got a Valentine card last week, not even an anonymous one. But we have each other.
Who wants a same-species partner, anyway? I certainly don't. I don't get on with strange cats and I would be devastated (and very angry) if a new cat came into the household. I am a one-woman cat.
She doesn't want one either. She has had her share and now she prefers the serenity of sleeping in the double bed - without a man.
She is not alone, of course. Neither of us are alone. We suit each other (even though I find her tiresome, very tiresome, at times). She loves me and sometimes I love her back.
How?
I give her the slow blink that tells her I am feeling love. Or IO rub against her. Or, in my case, I give her the privilege of petting me while I sleep on her lap.
I am better for her than any other human. I don't answer back, I listen when she is boring on about something, I don't tell her what to do or how to dress, and I don't care that she is older than me.
What human would want another human, when they can get a cat?
I agree. Now it is just me and my human.
ReplyDeleteThere were other cats but all have crossed the Bridge.
WE are both happy with each other :)
Purrs, Julie
