Cats I. When you jump to the top of my bookcase, you pretend that it�s a tree. When you fight with a feather on a string you pretend that it�s a bird. In your mind, you are still living in the forests of central Europe. You really are not a domestic animal at all. II. I thought that I saw a cat following me as I walked in my yard. I turned around, but the cat was not there. As I continued walking, I thought I saw the cat again, but this time it was in front of me. I think that my yard is haunted by the ghosts of dead cats. III. The others must fight and scrape their way through a short hard life, but not you. I give you gifts of a warm bed at night, and food, and companionship. In return I only ask that you make one concession to my will� you must allow your sexual organs to be removed. Back |
