I love a furless giant

Tho she is irksome,

Stupid, and slow

And frankly oblivious

She is my world

And I, her shadow

and no truer love is there

The author's comments:

the love between a girl and a cat(and a lot of food, treats, and time). No truer love is there.

i wrote this in my head while cuddling with my cat, onyx. shes a little shadow kitty. shes also in a permanent bad mood bc shes jealous of the new kitten, but she was being really sweet and friendly so I thought of this.

(the oblivious thing is on purpose. makes me laugh.)

thx!
onyx is so cute, even when shes grumbling passive aggressively. not so much when shes smacking a young kitten...
