Cats

My cats, Creamsicle and Essence.  They are wonderful creatures.  Creamsicle gets worried when I take showers- he peaks in the shower, from the sink. He gets worried when I get wet.  He does this little head bobbing thing with worried eyes, looking concerned like, "Mommy, are you ok?"  And he does it when I am having a pretty bad day, thinking I'm punishing myself or something.  And it's cute how Creamsicle will run out of my apartment, with his big belly jiggling over the floor, and then he will squat on the rug, as if it's his domain.  It's cute.  And then Essence, will lie in a little yoga position, legs facing one direction, arms twisted the other direction, with a glare in his eyes like, "Hey, what's up?  Don't be offended by my sexiness."

Then they both knock pencils off the counter.  Essence will always get to the bowl first when I feed them, and Creamsicle will push a little, but then back away, and let Essence dig in.  It always happens that way.  Creamsicle likes being on my lap, and Essence has a happy pose.  Where his tail is curved, and his back is curved, and he just has a glow in his eye.  Cats are great.  Oh and Creamsicle hunts bugs, then eats them.  So does Essence.  Animals are great.  They're sentient.  We should treasure all animals, start with what we can relate to, then go down to cows, pigs, chickens, all the animals we've desensitized ourselves to.  Maybe our world would be a better place if we stopped desensitizing ourselves to so much!  Play with your cats.
