Day 5

• In this world, there are pet people and there are non-pet people. I always thought I was of the former.
  
  And then we got a cat. 
• 
  For the first few days, all was lovely. He was adorable, cuddly and all-around lovable. I thought nothing could be better than to have a cat. And then, he got comfortable. He seemed to have developed this idea that all ownership is his. Thus, all should worship him and he would deign to bestow his affection when it suited him. 
• 
  You know in the movies when cats sit in their owner's laps, purring while being stroked? Wonder what that's like. And I doubt he's ever killed a bug in his life. And, of course, him being a long white-haired cat, wearing black for me is no longer an option. 
• 
  Is it clear from the above that my cat drives me crazy? It also doesn't help that my family thinks that this feline is the miracle of all miracles. 
• 
  But then there are those times when he'll come and sort of brush up against me and inform me that he'd like to be picked up. And he'll let me cuddle him for all of ten seconds. And, in those ten seconds, everything is forgiven. His cranky moodiness, his early morning meowings, his habit of scratching anything precious. Everything. 
• 
  And so today, #5, I'm grateful for those in my life who drive me crazy, but I also can't live without.
