That is what it feels like when I’m in a room with more than one cat.
***
Their fur floating around everywhere.
Their claws scratching whatever soft surface they can locate.
Or when the creatures decide they require your full attention.

It’s not like I hate them.
Despite what certain people believe.
Some of the feline companions I’ve encountered are quite cool.
***
I’m growing to appreciate their role in others’ lives.
But I’m still learning to navigate the world of cats.
And I’m just more of a dog person.

The Dangling Bead
My life is splashing before my eyes, as I precariously suspend and prepare for the end, the consumption of my Self and identity. I know that gravity will be the victor in this struggle. Like a pendant, slipping from the chain, the tension has caught me in this moment, bestowing one last gift of reflection. I cling desperately, questioning my purpose. Searching for comfort.
