Day 167 - Give and Receive

 GIVE AND RECEIVE 


Prompt - Give and Receive : Write about giving and receiving


Hours pass without a movement and she suddenly appears by my side.  I know what she wants and I go to give it to her.  No thanks received, only the evidence that my gift is being fully appreciated below me.

This will happen again later.  And again tomorrow.  I am always giving.  Sometimes she turns up demanding a different form of attention.  Play.  Chasing.  Grooming.  Hugs and strokes and a finger to bite.  I give.  Again.  

But every day she gives back.  Sits on me.  Comes to the bed and settles on my thighs.  Rubs face to face, purrs, says this is you and me and we belong together.  

As long as you keep giving.  Cats keep us in our place.
