I met this pretty lady in the woods near James’ new property, early yesterday morning. She was really friendly, and let me give her face and butt some pets, but didn’t stick around long. Just long enough for me to get some pictures and think about how badly I miss all my cats. The worst part about seeing her was she reminds me of Chief, and every time I’ve been to my ex-girlfriend’s house since being asked to leave, she has been too scared to come see me. So then I’m forced to go pet her through the spacing in the floor joists (she hides in the basement ceiling), and can only just barely touch her fur.

I miss the softness of my kitties. I miss picking them up and kissing them on the head. I miss carrying them like they’re a baby and tormenting them. I miss flicking milk tabs for Captain, and Ensign dragging her feather. I want Fatty to tell me to feed her, and Chief to just talk about nothing for no reason. I want to wake up with all of them pestering me to get up and play already. I even miss Sophie and her peeing everywhere. I wish I could have them all…
