Notes - Semi-civilized?/Need to know/

           Mid-morning. Chores, breakfast and paper, chores. Bright blue cold sky – the cat sits inside stalking birds and squirrels outside the front window, Miss Monochrome with pink nose sits near the heater vent of course; once a really wild and wiry short hair desert cat breed, now domesticated within a semi-civilized human environment. Post for your own reflection. – Amorella.

Early afternoon, chores, errands run and made myself some lunch, now I sit here reading the paragraph above. Amorella’s given me an unannounced quiz. I used to love to give those. They never counted much but the expressions on students’ faces were to die for. Semi-civilized; referenced to me. Is this semi-civilized state good or bad in these days? Book’s perspective: Is this what the modern day Dead think of us as a species? They are the ones in a modern day rebellion going on in book six not me. What does ‘domesticated’ really mean in this context?

Domesticated: “2: to adapt [plants/animals] to life in intimate association with and to the advantage of humans; 4. To bring to the level of ordinary people.” So says, Merriam-Webster.

The cat is better off. We do the hunting, mostly at Kroger’s. She works to see that we live well in reference to our service to/for her at regular times, day or night. She provides us with warmth (for her own warmth too, of course) and she licks clean our fingers or the backs of our palms from time to time as well as butts heads, pats her tail on our hands or forearms, and even has a tiny bite of affection to let us know we are important to her. She has an adaptable body language, which leave little doubt as to what she is expressing/communicating at the time. Being a cat [this is a given] is being independent of her human companions at a feline whim or whatever. Like most cats she sees things in the room humans cannot see. She appears to understand a ‘presence’ in the room for what it is, without human imagination attached. She appears to “know” things humans cannot know and have no need of knowing.

Well, you hit on something in that last line. All for now. Post. – Amorella.
