Waking the cat on a humid morning..


Humid morning and sweeping yard results in more sweat than usual. 

Stand up and realise that cat sleeping among the unused benches. 

Cat sleeping through sound of pointer broom scraping concrete and things knocking. 

Mind full of things which I have to do, and things I want to do but cannot do, and things which need to be done but I aint able do.

The cats passing through usually move away when they hear or see me. 

Short sighted and place dark and with sweat dripping I move closer and almost don't breathe to see if the cat breathing. 

I see the slight body movements.. so cat is alive.

I get camera, make sure I wipe sweat from the palms.

Set up to take picture and the cat opens eyes and gives me this look.

Man who had a cat walking over his phone and laptop  and who told me that I need a cat to deal with the mice.. tells me that the eyes are hopeful and say "I want to be your friend"

I is not a cat or dog lover. Cats though can move through the yard and so. I aint know if they deal with the mice or just co-exist.

Cat looking at me and I seeing 'whuh is you problem'.

One eye look smaller than the other. Cat just looking at me, no stretching or anything. 

I move away.

Check back later .. half hour or so.. cat sitting up on the wood, staring at me. 

I come to write about cat even though I have things to do and things which I should do but aint able do.
