Every Day

Where’s My Milk?
It’s Here In Your Favourite Bowl
Warmed Just As You Like It
Will You Drink It Now?
And The Cat Said No
🐱
I Want To Go Out
But It’s Raining
I Want to Go Out
I’ve Opened The Door For You
Do You Want To Go Out?
And The Cat Said No
🐱
I Want Some Food
I’ve Opened Your Favourite
Salmon and Tuna
In Your Special Bowl
Are You Going To Eat?
And The Cat Said No
🐱
I Want To Sleep
I Put A Clean Blanket
In Your Basket
Warmed On The Radiator
Lie Down Here
And The Cat Said No
🐱

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.

1 - no, doesn't like milk 2 - nailed it 3 - will eat when she's ready, NOT when you are 4 - sleeps most times anyways, usually in a spot that inconvenient to the human. 5 addendum - wants to be picked up for a cuddle, bites the hand the reaches out to pet her. That about covers it.
Yes - that seems about right! 😄🐱
