So many people have been making the case that Malkin should just "go," that he's outworn his welcome here. My partner, my one brother, and others have expressed their strong belief that Malkin needs to go.
True, he just destroyed my pillowtop matress (which I can't just flip) but I take it all in stride. He's destroyed nice floor boards, a wonderful sleigh bed, very rary vinyl records, rare books and much besides and yet I cling to him rather than those stupid things.
I knew from the start Malkin was sent as a spiritual exercise and that's how I've taken him.
Plus, he's so damn cute.
He had no clue of the damage he does.
He really doesn't.
Yesterday, he and Dru got in an accidental fight.
I saw Dru running up the stair swallowing some of Malkin's greyeness...at first I was afraid it was one of Malkin's ears or part of his tail but it seems to be some inconsequnetial fur.
Malkin is so superior to conflict he's like Gandhi cat.
I'm so impressed.

More fodder for the "Separated at Birth" documentary: my cat, too, has destroyed a pillowtop mattress, and yesterday I was holding him in my lap when he heard a sound outside and ripped open my beloved wrinkle-free dress shirt with his back claws on his way off. In our previous house, he destroyed all the bamboo flooring. I, too, can't imagine not having him around.
ReplyDeleteI realized that post makes me sound insane. Like a crazy cat lady. Or at least a crazy cat lady in waiting. I guess I should have mad Michael Jackson sing Elizabeth's Bishop's poem "Losing" instead. I had this huge caption novel dream and I want to try to create it online. It made no sense but rather the pleasant type of senselessness. I think it was about how acting is the primary mode of existence of everything in the universe, both conscious and unconscious things. Because people can say wit ha complete straight face "That tree is acting strangely." Or that top quark is behaving erratically.
