Conversations with my cat

*Silently, the jungle Panther stalks across the bed, hunting the unknown. Focused, attentive, nothing gets past his watchful eye.

“um…”

“I think you’ll like this…”

“Hey – get your hands off me! I said no! No means no! RAPE!”

“Calm down… You’re really going to like this…” *picks up the dish scrubber and dislodges a moth from the wall who flies erratically [...]

Conversations with my cat

“Hey! What’s that? Is that mine? Can I have that? What is it?”

“Hey there! Who want’s their ears scratched?”

*stares out the window*

“Hello? Hey? Are you excited just a little bit to see me?”

“Ack! I said move!”

“I did move! Sitting is moving!”

“Your tail is on the spacebar!”

“Oh! Sorry!” [...]
