Judgement

We do not have a cat.

We will not be getting a cat.

The “cat distribution system” is NOT operating in our yard.

We have a cool, shady back yard where a neighbor’s cat can lounge and watch birds and squirrels. Or terrorize them. Po-TAY-toe, po-TAH-toe…

We’ve seen it three or four times in the last month. Always lounging.

It shows no sign of wanting any attention or a new home. If I open the door or even turn the handle, it’s off like a shot.

Meanwhile, I’ve committed the ultimate sin by waking it from it’s splooty nap. There it is – the slittled eyes, the stare, the attitude, the judgement.

I’m sorry! I’ll go have myself flogged now and it will never happen again!
