this morning #2299.

this morning, as soon as i stepped into the kitchen, she was there to greet me. came out of nowhere. weaved between my legs, rubbing them as she made her way through. a cute mew & an anticipatory purr. most of the time, it feels like real love. genuine enough. every so often though, her purrs stir something inside of me. an uncomfortable anger at the feeling that i’m just being used. subtly manipulated. that she only shows me affection because i provide her with shelter & food. even if it is true, i don’t really care. she’s SO FRIGGIN’ CUTE. i stooped down. scooped her up & held her in my arms. we rubbed noses. “you want some food?” she purred. she knows that last word. “ok my love.” i put her down. grabbed the bag. me & my balinese beauty. we make a great team.
