These Nine Lives Outweigh Your One
(I am visiting my mom, who still has the cats I grew up with. At one point I am in the living room cuddling with one of them.)
Mom’s Husband: “I thought you’d be spending time with your mom right now?”
Me: *curled up with my fifteen-year-old cat, face buried in her soft fluffy belly* “But… I only have a few more years left with her!”
Mom: *coming around the corner with a shocked look on her face* “Oh! You were talking about HER! I thought you were talking about ME!”
Me: “GOD no! I expect to have at least another thirty years with YOU!”
(Unfortunately, that plus all of us laughing was too much noise for kitty’s naptime, so she cut off my cuddle time to flounce off and relax somewhere else. Fortunately, she’s now eighteen and still in great health. I expect she’ll make it into her twenties.)
