Am I here, or not here
“When we need them, the treasures we find will be revealed.”
KT Cat Paws
Mr Bailey the Zen Cat likes to bury things but tends to hide nothing.
He tries to bury the cat food he doesn’t like with anything he can find; plastic bag, cat toys, other cat bowls. If he coughs up a fur-ball, he will bury that too. I am surprised he hasn’t found a way to bury Miss. Mattie.
I will walk in a room and find a napkin in the center of the room with a treat under it. Uggh, cat vomit. He could at least fold it up and make it look nice.
A little cat-napkin origami, right?
Sometimes, I wish he would bury his attitude, the poop in his litter box or a nice piece of chocolate under my pillow for a surprise. One can live in dreams right?
If I ever die in the house, you can be assured he will bury me under a sock, or a napkin. If he was really intelligent he would take the blanket off the bed and do the right thing by tucking me in with hospital corners and all. Bury me as the Cat-Goddess mummy I am, with hieroglyphics sketched on the outside and a scarab beetle for rebirth on my chest.
A cricket will do if the scarab is not available.
Mr. Bailey doesn’t hide his burying. He does it in plain sight. So much for hiding what you don’t want found.
It seems Mr. Bailey takes after me. I bury things too.
I bury my old clothes in the back of the closet. I bury my “I-had-a-bad-day-attitude” in a container of ice cream. I try to bury my past in the past, but it always seems to sneak out the other end.
As for the ice cream, all of that burying isn’t hiding what sticks to my hips!
I guess I got my Zen Cat lesson for the day watching Mr. Bailey.
I learned that burying just hides things and that eventually they will become un-buried and in plain sight. Our attempt at burying one thing may un-bury something else we tried to hide.
I suppose I need to figure why I buried things in the first place.
Love, peace and now un-buried KT CAT Paws.
