Conversation with the Cat


"Do you love me?" I ask the cat.

He only stares, enigmatic. He does not answer. Never answers.

He lies on the floor, black tail thumping against polished wood. His expression is one of disdain, as if to say, Silly human with your questions.

I do not believe he loves me. He loves only the metallic whir of the can opener.
