My cat is feeling very neglected lately. I’ve worked late three nights straight. I barely have time to throw some cat food in her dish and fill here water bowl.
While I’m sitting on the couch watching T.V., the time I would usually be unwinding from the day and petting her, I’m now working on The Quilt. You know the one I started two years ago and that I’m now actually getting somewhere on? So, my cat is feeling really deprived of attention. The situation is made even harder because she won’t let anyone else touch her. There are scads of people who would love to cuddle with her and pet her, but she’s having none of that mess! Bless her heart.
In the mornings I usually give her a little petting while I’m putting on my socks. This morning she was so needy it was really kind of pathetic. I noticed that she had a sore between her shoulder blades so I put some antibiotic crème on it, and of course she didn’t care for that. She’s acting all mistreated and put upon. You would think I’ve committee animal abuse!
This evening I should get home at my regular time. YEAH!! There is a lot of housework I need to get caught up on, like changing out the litter box. But, I will be able to open the back door and let her roam around in the yard, which she loves, at least as long as I’m out there with her. That’s OK, I need to work on the garden, refill the bird feeder, pot some plants and any number of other things. Shit, I’m tired just thinking about it all!
Maybe this evening I can even find some time to just sit and give her a good petting. Now if only I could find someone to do the same for me. Or better yet, someone to change the litter box. I crack myself up!!!
