Today on my walk I came across a cat on Pearl St. It was black mottled with brown, and it cried as it followed me. It broke my heart to keep walking. I wanted to stop and pet it, to give it attention, but I didn't know who it belonged to, or if it was healthy. It was distracted before it got to the main road thank goodness, because I would have been devestated if it got hit by a car from following me. Further down the street a couple were looking for their dog. Not a good day for animals it seems.
*sighs* I wish I had a cat. I get lonely all alone in my apartment. But I know better. I'm not here enough to care for an animal and it wouldn't be fair. Some day I'll adopt one. Or save it from being abandoned like I did with Talin. I miss Talin a lot, but I know he's happier at my parent's house. He has a huge yard to play in, and Nicki to wrestle with, and my parents to spoil him. And even though he doesn't live with me anymore, I make sure that he has his shots up to date and a yearly check-up. He's also the first person I greet whenever I visit. Just like Ruby was.
Crap. Now I'm all upset and sentimental. I'm going to make some lunch.
