the catiquette of ‘things that shouldn’t be there’

The way a cat enters a room and sees, on the floor, on the far side of said room, a bit of crumpled paper That Isn’t Supposed To Be There. The cat freezes. Stares. Eyes super wide and their expression as if That Is For Sure An Intruding Tiny Dragon Over There And Who Let THAT In?? She walks slowly, carefully, toward it. Brave. Extends a paw. (Brave but still careful.) Immediately determines it’s a bit of crumpled paper and just like that walks away. Turns her back on crumpled paper. Washes face in sunbeam. Somehow still cloaked in dignity.

  1. I meant to comment on all other previous posts but couldn’t find my WP password (new computer and all the pain that involves). So glad I finally retrieved it. I’m here for the long run, Matilda. A beautiful post like all others.
