My Kitty Friend sits on my Lap

My Kitty Friend
I had a horrible day. I was having lunch with some friends who kept calling me a pushover as they don’t think I’m assertive enough. The problem was, to them, assertive meant being rude. I tried to explain to them that I liked choosing my battles carefully and couldn’t see the point in getting into arguments with strangers. To me, some things are too trivial to be worth fighting over. That doesn’t make me a wimp. As if to prove my point, a woman asked if she could sit down at the spare seat at our table. One of my friends said no and next thing you know, the two got into an argument and I buried my head in my hands as I hate it when people make scenes. “See, what does that achieve?” I asked. My friends ignored my question and went back into their you-are-a-pushover lecture.


So I was feeling down when I was coming home. I found the Grouchy Tuxedo Cat who hangs out on the stairs near my place. I gave him a couple of strokes before he miaowed and walked off. “He’s had a long day,” said a passer-by. So have I, I felt like saying.

I continued up the stairs, wondering if I would get to see my tabby friend. And there he was, hidden on the side of the stairs. He saw me and miaowed and let me stroke him. After a couple of strokes he came onto the stairs. I sat down and he stepped onto my lap and sat there, watching people going by. “Good cat,” I said to him and he let me stroke his back. After a few moments, he hopped off me and sat down on the next step. He rolled on his back and miaowed again, letting me stroke his belly and spine. Some kids started up the stairs. “Is he yours?” asked a little girl. “No,” I said. The girl looked liked she wanted to stroke him so I said, “It’s okay. He’s friendly.” The girl stroked him twice and then walked off with her friends.


My saviour, I thought. I felt so much better after spending some time with my kitty friend. Animals don’t judge, I thought. They either like you or they don’t but they don’t spent time being judgemental or telling me how I should be. I played with my friend for a while longer before I said goodbye and went home.
