your cat enters the room licking his chops like he ate something very toothsome, but his food dish is in the bowl you are in and you're certain there was nothing left out he could've snacked on.

Dear Universe,
You took something from me. Their isness was severed and I will have them back.
I will take the heads responsible for one of the thefts. The other, I will scar.
You will not take me by surprise and if I must I will wear it until the day you knock. I do not forgive you.
sincerely,
a modified heart

Dear kitty,
I know you can be inscrutable sometimes. Disinterested or content, tired or lazy, starving on the verge of death or just a little peckish, skittish or playful? Only you know. When you are feeling skittish, please try to telegraph it a bit more before I bend down to pat you on the head. I don't mind the occasional clawing or swipe or surprised bite. What I would like to avoid is the full powered "I must get out of danger's way right now" leap straight upward, smashing your head into my nose hard enough to make me see spots.
It is always funny once my eyes stop watering, the spots fade, my nose stops running and I can see you're okay too, but damnit we've got to get on the same page on this one before one of us loses an eye or something. Thanks, pal.
With love,
your shipmate

Dear pet owners,
It's okay to feel a little guilty when your cat or dog is literally pushing your limbs out of your desk chair and off your computer keyboard and twisting your monitor every which way when they want attention, but you're in the middle of browsing an Instagram feed of baby goats frolicking through meadows. It's okay to feel a little bit like you're cheating on them. Who wouldn't want to own a successful goat farm full of cuteness and handsome and darling older goats? Just explain softly when you do close your laptop or your browser that what you want is not in spite of them, but including them. Your cats would look out for the little baby goats and your dogs will keep the old fellas and ladies in line so they don't wander too far off. It would be a family. Even if you have one cat or just one dog or one turtle, it is not a marriage so it's really not cheating anyway. It's okay to feel a little guilt, the other implication being they're not cute anymore and you are not allowed to say or think it, but the truth is they are.
I just wish I had a goat to raise too.
Sincerely,
an animal lover
