Rudely awakened at 4 am for wet food. Politely pawed at 7 am to watch the change of dry food transition on the automatic feeder. Random meows during the mad rush to get ready for work. Patiently waiting at the closed balcony door for hours.

Rushing to get back home for a bland greeting or occasional rubbing of the face. Passionately singing alternative versions of nursery rhymes and romantic songs to get one wink or wagging tail approval. Relishing the numbness seeping slowly after countless opening and closing of doors on dark winter nights. Prioritizing quality time with him as a part of the meditation routine.

Thank you for tagging me Lucy The Eggcademic (she/her), I want to talk about my perfect companion Luke, whose every action makes me deliriously happy.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
