They stepped closer.
Oh, come on. I’ll give you anything else- you don’t need more of that.
They hissed. 4 minutes left, their eyes seemed to say.
Anything else? sure you don’t want to just chill out and leave me alone? Come on, just because I didn’t give it to you today doesn’t mean you have to kill me, right?
More hissing. 3 minutes.
I sigh. You can’t just wait a few minutes more?
Their back arched, a murderous gleam in their eyes. No, they seemed to say. 2 minutes left.
I wait a bit more.
Seriously? Well, if I died, they still would have to wait that few minutes. I didn’t really care.
They step closer.
Closer.
Hisssssssssssss … ..
It’s now 6 AM, and the cat food falls from the machine canister into the bowl. Coffee the cat glances at me.
FINALLY!!! their eyes seem to say.
I sigh.
Next time, don’t wake me up at 3 AM, okay?
