Pumpkin
I never thought I would love something as much as I love my cat.
The way he acts like a dog panting for food.
He looks at you with big yellowish green eyes
Waiting for you to drop a scrap of whatever you are eating.
He jumps on the bed
Pawing at the air
Wanting me to pet him.
And when I listen to Hallelujah on my phone
And start to feel too much
And almost start to cry
He crawls out of his sleepy ball and comes to sit on my chest.
Because that is his way of hugging to make sure I am alright.
Because
I never thought I would love something as much as I love my cat.
