Striking Up With A Cat

a cat - stripes yellowish back - walked past me at the condominium some days ago as i was waiting for my lift he practically brought the house down with his confident and assuring strides he walked practically like a king - so proudly and unfearful that it inspired courage - how i wish i could do the same brimming with admiration i could not help calling out 'meow' to the cat when it was feet away and astutely came straight and lay herself down like a pack of cards, turning its front paws up to welcome me to the warmth in its furry paradise i swam my feet over the lithe and buoyant frame as my elevated blood pressure did not allow me to bend down to it - how frustrated i was to miss the good chance to have good time with this fall-in-love-at-first-sight beloved animal a woman who walked into this red letter encounter between us gave a marvelled look before making her way to the lift how affectionate animals can be though our intelligence can be miles apart how easily we can bond if we care to bare our hearts out to each other, she must have thought we walked into the lift with the cat still sprawled on the foor i have been looking for the same cat but it has yet to make its much waited upon kingly strides that have made their way with triumph into my heart
