I lost my magnificent lion a week ago. Here he is at his most regal and dignified.
Tabby on his back exposing the fluffiest belly. My cat facedown between the seat and footrest of a recliner, waiting to be squished. A rug with shoes on it and a cat under it, unseen. Well-behaved cat with three paws on watercolor paper, the fourth in the palette, and his face in the brush-rinsing jar.

No, that wasn’t *my* poop you stepped on at 4am. Must have been some other cat. Now resume the brushing!
A brown tabby with a well-brushed belly lies on his back, pressing his head into my foot, front paws in the air.

My cat seems to know the election is tomorrow.

After four years of struggle, he has finally defeated his arch nemesis, the plastic fern.

I erased last week’s news. If only changing reality were this easy.
The un-erased text reads: former President Donald J. Trump is entitled to substantial immunity from the election and presidential power. The powerful serve for the majority

He stole my spot on the couch. To get him to look at me I addressed him as “evil one”.

Somewhere out there, beyond the fog, is the home he dreams of, where they won’t suddenly feed him breakfast an hour late for no reason.

He’s been forgiven for being a jerk and I’ve been forgiven for yelling “Give me back my phone, I’m trying to meditate!”
