How do cats know?
The cat was hopefully waiting on the sofa expecting a sweet nap. But his human put on fake eyelashes and ran somewhere. The kitty stared into the darkness of the room with disappointed green eyes.

She must have stayed home, I felt waves. Those waves float around her when she feels bad. And she often falls down next to me and we have a nap. In fact I have a nap – she just puts face in my fur and makes it wet with tears. Annoying! But her furry shirt is comfortable and warm to sleep on. Btw, she has left her home outfit on the sofa. Strange… They’re always afraid I’ll pee on it. This time she ran out without hiding it. But the suit is useless without a body inside. It’s just a warm cloth that doesn’t hear purring. But the body has gone… And left me alone. She had waves… Where could she have gone?
I heard the shout in the hall – she caught the falling mirror. Something unusual was going on. Never seen people behaving that way. She was talking to some image on the laptop screen. She is not afraid to leave it on the table anymore. It’s not new so I’m not going to mark it as mine, already done that some time ago.
I often scream at the door – want to go to the countryside, freedom is there, real one. Not like here – just a stupid landscape from the window. Boring cat food and people around all the time and missing when I need sb.
But why does she do the same? Not at the door, sometimes to the laptop and sometimes – to the window. She’s not punished for it because does it when nobody’s home – and I can’t control myself and scream whenever I want. Freedom…
Nevertheless, cats also want attention. I needed a hug, looked at her with the eyes’ expression she has always understood – but received only a quick kiss on the nose. She closed the door… Where could she have gone with those waves? I’m home alone, but will sleep. She left me when I needed her so much and, I guess, she needed me as well. The light in the room has been turned off – and I know nobody’s there, at the time when all of them should be at home. I’ll sit on the windowsill and wait for her to come… She left me alone… I was trying to show I need attention – with my eyes. But she didn’t watch.

It was raining. The broken contact lens could be felt, I closed eyes and went to another end of the city to buy a new one. Happy people were everywhere waiting for each other – the reason of closed eyes. Missed a conference in the morning – sleeping with the cat’s face on my cheek was more like something I needed that minute. Thanks God he didn’t bite me – he sometimes does it at night. The article, dress, phone call… A new day has started. I didn’t want to disturb the cute furry ball.
Rain, an annoying umbrella as well as people, public transport. Everybody’s running somewhere except happy ones who only bothered on the way.
…Getting ready for the literature event. The cameo broke in my hands. And… the mirror fell down. Fortunately I caught it and wasn’t cut – but wished I was. And maybe… No… I thought it when noticed scared disappointed green eyes looking at me from the room. No time, sweetheart, I’d hug you if I weren’t late. Ok, can’t resist. You know that kind of catloaf always works on me. Kissed on the nose, he even didn’t resist as he always does…Yes, boy, I feel you understand me, I’d love to lay down near you, but need to go. Maybe that event will help…
The cat always shows great attention to me when sth bad happens. I wonder how he knows that. And he’s greatly annoyed by my howling and screaming – sometimes can’t help doing it. I’ll never forget his licking off my tears after the…
Cats are really the most devoted friends. They know and understand everything. And there’s no deception or betrayal in their special furry soft world protected only with claws and teeth. Like in that song by Olga Pulatova: «…claws can pierce a leg, but believe me, a leg is not a heart…»
Fake lashes, a bit of makeup – enough, I don’t care. Another kiss to the kitty – it seems to me I see tears in his eyes. Never felt so guilty when had to leave him alone. I’m becoming too emotional…

Before going out she put the mirror on the floor and told the photo on the screen that was done not to hurt me. Of course, I explored the mirror by walking on it. I’m not of those cats who get surprised when see their reflection. I know that is just myself. Nevertheless, all things that are new or change their places should be examined by me.
At last! She’s home, in a strange mood. Kissed me on the nose again, but it seems she doesn’t notice me at all. Made coffee and took the laptop. I hate that thing, it takes most of her time and attention. Sometimes I manage to sleep on her laps when she’s typing, but the sound is so annoying…
One of the strangest things is that she didn’t listen to that weird music today. It’s terrible for kitty’s ears – humans forget we hear much better than them. Those screaming and howling voices make me crazy, I sometimes sit near the door and scream also to show them I can’t stand that sound. She often turns the «music» on and takes me on her laps, wants me to sleep there, right near the laptop making terrible sounds.
She’s sitting and typing. Doesn’t notice me and gets angry when I meow and jump around her. Something must have happened, I feel strong waves. Moreover, I need attention! Does anybody here love me?...
Talks to the photo again… Will anybody hug the kitty?
Ok, I’ll use sth that always works with her…

They were so happy… I was not alone there, met friends… And at home was also met by a friend who will never betray. I need coffee and to write down all thoughts… Meowing annoys me, it draws my attention away from what I’m writing…
It can’t be this way… I don’t want to believe… It is not my friend, it is sb else who has used his info, right? Nope…
The cat would have never acted like that. I lay down near him… He sits like a statue. I look into his eyes… He is staring at the door and looks as if he was going to cry in a second. Desperation, loneliness and sadness in my cutie’s eyes – and I feel helpless. Don’t know what to do, I can’t understand if that’s reality or just my distorted perception. And then I understood – mum is coming. He loves her and had not played with her today yet – so he’s waiting impatiently. I was not mistaken.
The fallen mirror and the broken cameo. What could this mean? I don’t believe it happened «just because». And the nightmare about the wedding and the stone… I’m scared and I feel the cat understands it. Looked up – and met big round green eyes.
You know everything, but I wonder if you understand. I know such things don’t exist in your soft kitty world. Thank you, furry brother, that you’re with me. Your loving eyes make me feel needed… F**k these males. And even work for now – sorry, dear, I know I should have spent more time with you today. I kissed him on the pink nose and he put a paw on my hand.

Waves are so strong around her… She’s a bit annoying with these kisses on face and even paws, I’m in lipstick now! But I don’t resist for now, I’m patient. I’ve waited for attention for the whole day today – and here it is!
Her mother doesn’t like me purring when sleeping near her face. But she loves it – the louder I purr, the more tight she hugs me. When waves are impossibly strong, I put my face on her cheek. I hate her talking in her sleep, directly into my sensitive ear. I meow angrily, but then she gets scared and pushes me from under the blanket for some reason. I just warned her I’ll bite if she doesn’t shut up.
She is still typing. I lay behind her and wait patiently…

I must finish this article as soon as possible. The sweety is behind me already waiting and I still have to take the lashes off. That’s it. I’ll leave the work and fall near the cat.
Noticed a strange thing. On the way home all cats either looked at me or followed me. 2 homeless doggies were sleeping in the fallen leaves…
I have a dream… If I could, I’d take all homeless animals with me. All of them need love – and I know I’d be able to love all of them. And I believe I would be able to make them respect each other. «Pink dreams»? Yes, maybe. I’m a dreamer, remember this.
Felt a touch of a wet nose on my hand. Ok, biting boy, I’m coming… I’ve just sat down – and paws are already on my hand. Rubs his head on my arm, looks in eyes in his usual sleepy kind way…
Thanx God for creating cats. They make this world not so tough.
Cats followed me. A cat loving neighbor helped me to open a heavy door when I was carrying heavy bags from the supermarket. Looked at me in a strange way. And one of her kitties stopped near me and rubbed head on my leg.
A cat near the supermarket pierced me with his green eyes’ look. How do all cats know about everything?
