[ct] 68.2 - compare your partner to an animal

Jun 29, 2009 12:12

If I had to compare Zee to an animal? I’d definitely have to call her a cat. What kind? Not sure, but she’s feline if ever someone was. She’s delicate and indestructible, slinky and sneaky and sexy as hell. She’s warm and loving, but she’s so much alone and she likes it that way. She’s an island unto herself, it’s her way or no way. It’s funny how little compromise is in her when we find our own middle ground all the time.

Maybe she’s a housecat that way. Not like it sounds, but like they really are. We got two of ‘em, and I think they like her a little better than me ‘cause they get her. Zee’s a hunter, but she’s a hunter with a safe harbor. She knows her environment, where the food and shelter are at and she chooses them. Dangerous as she is, she’s safe to be close to ‘cause she has her needs provided for. Hardy and Kel got Friskies and the spot by my feet on the bed, Zee? She has music, sex, and yeah, food.

And she’s got me. For whatever that means to her, she’s got everything I have. And it must mean something, ‘cause she stays. Like the cats, I can leave the door open and she won’t run away ‘cause she’s got a good thing here. She’ll scratch me if I test her patience or pull her tail, and she’ll kill anyone that messes with her young, but just like the goddamn cats she’s in bed with me every morning when I wake up.

She’s not domesticated, but I’d like to think she’s content.

I don’t own her, never have. Like our furry kids, she chose me, and as long as I respect her and let her have her head? She’ll allow me to call her mine.
