This One’s ears turn because This One hears noise in the kitchen. Then comes the smell of food. That One is pouring food. This One’s eyes open and This One stretches and yawns and licks This One’s leg, and This One jumps down off the bed because if This One waits too long, The Other One will eat all the food and there’ll be none left for This One.
That One has the things on That One’s tall, lanky body again that mean that That One is going out; This One can tell. This One loves That One. Why does That One go out? What does That One do when That One’s out there? Does That One hunt, stalk, chase? Does That One fight and mate? But This One wishes That One would stay here. This One likes it when That One is here. Sometimes when That One is out, The Other One is mean to This One and This One hates The Other One when that happens. The Other One sometimes holds This One and bites This One. Why does The Other One do that? The Other One is afraid of That One, because That One makes angry noises when The Other One hurts This One. But when That One is out, That One’s not here to make those sounds and The Other One can do just what The Other One wants. Sometimes The Other One wants to play and lick and purr. That’s when This One likes The Other One. Maybe The Other One will be like that today when That One goes out.
This One rubs That One’s legs. This One rolls because This One wants That One to stay. That One makes pretty noises to This One, but That One goes to the door anyway. This One goes to the window to see That One go inside the moving thing and go away. This One hears The Other One at the dish. This One wonders if there’ll be food left. This One better go see.
