Monolitho

It is rainy and cold outside

I am working on my laptop

My Russian blue is lying next to it

He is intelligent and playful

.

He is staring at me

I am also looking directly at him

Into his dark and vivid green eyes

.

I wonder what goes on in his mind

It seems that he wants to say something

But he can’t, for he has no words

.

We give each other companionship

We each feel the same about the other

The same instinct to live shines in us both

The same glowing spark burns in each of us

.

I don’t know what this spark is

But I know that we are not of two species

We are the same and equals

.

Monolitho is 10 years old. I also have a cat named Benedictus (Benny) who is 6 years old and another name Sophie whose age I don’t know because she was a stray. Monolitho is named after my cousins’ top cat in pre-revolutionary Iran who was named after a television character from a Western show called (high) Chaparral and played by Henry Darrow.>>>photos
