Symposium 27 Feeding the Cat
Symposium 27 Feeding the Cat She rose slowly from the floor, the wreckage of her body resisting. The tail swished in her face, her hand brushes the soft fur as she pushes against a chair for leverage. Her back complains bitterly, her hips too but she manages. She moves ever so slowly to the counter, pours the kibble as the cat jumps up lithely, purring, already burying its head in the bowl. Her swollen fingers pass over and over the lean body while she leans, one leg askew, panting. The phone is pulled from the wall. She needs to get to the den. If she passes out on the way, it could be a while before she wakes again. Pulling a chair in front of her, she pushes it, follows, pushes it follows. Her bag is in the den, her phone in the bag. It hurts to breathe. She spits. Blood. Don’t think just do. The cat is right between her feet, twining. Licking the blood. She screams from the pain of it. The cat shoots off, knocking the hall table, a vase breaking into pieces, shards of china. She cries NO. But to whom? For what? She is the most alone she has ever been. Why is she making noise? Nearly there, nearly there, nearly there. Collapsing on the chair, she takes stock of the room. The bag is near the desk, a mere ten feet away. After pulling the shards from her feet, she crawls to it, reaching inside for her phone, pulling it out with a crow of triumph, hitting the buttons, speaking, holding it against her chest, a fallen warrior behind a shield. The cat warily enters the room. She reaches out a red, broken hand. The cat, curls up beside her. Its heat, its purr the only reality left. She rides the sound, not moving until the front door is broken open. The sound of footsteps. She screams, HE’s back. “Ma’am, is he still in the house?” “oh, oh.” “ No, oh. I have a cat, please close the door.” You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

I am not a fan of cats. but I have owned and loved two. both were specifically themselves and not the least bit pets. I like to think they enjoyed their time with our family but Spike, the second one had two other families as well and vacationed with them for his entire life.........so...shrugs dogs, on the other hand........i'm a sucker for dogs. You cannot conceive the many without the one.

Cats do seem to be living in their own parallel universe at times, oblivious to our goings-on.

We are opposites ........I have had both cats and dogs as pets but prefer cats!
