Something has been missing from my life since we moved this summer. I have lost all my neighborhood rivals, all of my spat, hiss, hackle-raising and growl worthy enemies...gone. My brothers are too…shall we say…pathetic? to merit this kind of attention and there seem to be no wanderers in this neighborhood to fill the void that has been left in my life with the move away from Big Cat Small Head and Mr. Fluffle Butt, the objects of my scorn at the old house. I sit in the window and all I see are stupid birds, the occasional dog, lots of people, cars, and on Friday, the dumptruck. My tail has not expanded impressively in months. The fur on my back has not raised in just as long and, oh, I do miss making those deep bear-ish rumbles that made me seem so threatening. I never truly considered the across the street cat, Big Cat Small Head, or the next door cat, Mr. Fluffle Butt, to be really worthy of enemy status, but in a pinch, they served. They served well. Now…nothing, no one.
