Mommy has gone to work for the day, I have the house to myself until tonight. What can I do? Play with my yarn? Take a nap on the couch? I’ve gotten tired of doing the same thing over and over again. I jump over to the window and stare down at the neighborhood, everyone is off doing their own thing. Parents have gone to work, the children are in school and here I am, waiting for everyone to come back. You know how everyone says lonely people get cats? Well I guarantee you cats get lonelier than people.
As I wait for the hours to go by I sense motion on the window, softer the feel of a lizard walking around. I look up and see a different creature, I believe to have seen them on t.v. with mommy, they’re called butterpies. The butterpie is flapping its wings slowly, giving me time to enjoy their color, pattern and texture. Normally I’d be scaring anything that got through my window, but this butterpie is just too beautiful to scare away. It comforts me in my loneliness.
