Merrycatterwaller

Merrycatterwaller was a fine spotty cat who lived in a house with a family of humans. Every day, he amused himself, eating dandelions, chasing insects in the grass, and watching the antics of the people. Bells and buzzers went off in the morning, and the humans lugged glumly out of bed. The parents hollered at the kids until they were up too. The parents ate no breakfast, and they made the kids eat breakfast.

To make a long long story short, Merry loved the family of human pets, but would never understand them. Merrycatterwaller ate from his bowl, or the little gifts of herbs and proteins in the yard, when he was hungry, and drank if he was thirsty. He didn't if he wasn't. He never thought about sleep at all, just curled up when he felt like it, and things were calm. Unlike people, he didn't worry about when or how long he slept because he knew nothing about clocks and hours and meetings. He intersected somehow with his girlfriend Jelly Bean, the neighbor dogs and squirrels and sparrows as needed without scheduling. Sometimes when he was up in the night, he slipped through the cat door, and sang and sashayed under the moon. (He had to live up to his fine name!) When he came back in, he checked on each of his peeps, jumping on the bed, orbiting about them, purring in their radius. He stayed on the bed if one was tossing and turning until all was calm once more. He knew he was a bit of a worrycat, but humans! Sometimes they made the hair on his tail stand on end. Merrycatterwaller loved them anyhow.
