Member-only story
I see you…
I see you. Yes, you.
The person who puts the food out for me every night. The person who somehow, through human wizardry, makes that water dish never freeze, even when the temperature gets cold. It still amazes me what those of you who walk on two legs are capable of doing.
It almost makes me believe in magic.
Almost.
As a cat who’s been roaming the neighborhood since I was a kitten, it’s kind of tough to believe in anything, but you make me wonder.
I know you’re the one who trapped me a year ago and took me to get neutered and shots. I didn’t forgive you for a long while after that, but I mean, I am a dude. Come on. And those shots hurt! Plus, I was pretty scared.
But I realize what you did for me. I’ve seen a lot of cats in my daily wanderings that are sick and getting sicker. I somehow seem to not really catch anything and I know it’s because you gave me vaccinations. I’m also not one to chase the ladies, as I’ve heard it described. That has helped keep me safe, too.
I watch you in your house at the kitchen sink. I see when you get the food together for those of us outside.
I know there are other cats in your house and you pick them up and snuggle them and it looks like it’s an amazing moment.
