the writer's desk at the end of the universe

I wrote a thing. Mwahaha. 😊
Someone hisses.
“Hey! Be nice! And I don’t care who started it, sort it out like adults!”
… Five minutes later, no one has so much as moved.
“Why did you get a new paper towel to dry their water bowl? There are some on the counter right there.”
“Yeah, but I don’t want it to get all countertop germy.”
“You spoil them so much.”
“… You gave them their own mug!”
Me: “Try actually covering it, silly.”
Cat: [scratches at the wall nearest the litter box]
“I have to pee.”
Off to the right, one of the cats starts to make use of the litter box.
“… Thank you, Noodle. See? She’s peeing for me, which is something you have never done. I think I might have a new favorite.”
“You want to sleep on that side of the bed? Frankie’s not going to like that.”
“Frankie doesn’t like a lot of things. It would be faster to list the things she does like. Butt rubs, cat food… me… you when you’re not too excited… Noodle, laser pointers… I think that’s it.”
“I got something out of the corner of Frankie’s nose.”
“Ew! Are you going to wash your hands?”
“I’ll just purel. … Wait, Louie licks your mouth, and you never purel your mouth. And you still make me kiss it anyway! I’m not doing anything.”
95 words. Please leave a comment if this sends chills down your spine. 😊
This post was inspired by the Monday Musings segment on The Caffeinated Writer. I’m going to write about whatever I happen to be thinking about at the time, sometimes reading or writing related and sometimes not. Who knows!

My partner and I have a goofball five-year-old chocolate lab. We also adopted a kitten this year (shout-out to Palo Alto Animal Services), and the two of them together are just fantastic. Since we have a big dog, we looked for and found an adventurous kitty who wouldn’t be intimidated by him. And to be honest, an additional concern was finding a kitty who wasn’t too aggressive and wouldn’t intimidate him. Their interactions have gotten progressively more adorable now that he doesn’t startle every time she jumps up next to him on the couch, and even though they haven’t yet agreed on how to play with each other, they seem to have a lot of silent conversations.
