Meow Mix was on Bismarck’s agenda, right next to an entry
for a five-hour petting. Things were not going to plan, however. No loving
hands were forthcoming. And Friskies had supplanted Meow Mix.
Bismarck brooded at his food bowl as he waited for his human
to return.
You’d think the human
would spring for something better than a plastic Ziploc container, he
thought. If he were my pet, I’d treat him
better. If he were my pet the world
would be better.
Afterwards, Bismarck found a nice, comfy down green jacket
to sit on. A simple minded human might have expected him to sit there
anticipating his next feeding. Bismarck was not now hungry nor did he share
with humans the singular preoccupation of living in any moment other than the
present. However, within that present moment Bismarck could feel the warmth of
the jacket seeping through his fur, the bustle of goose feathers jacket
elevating him towards tranquility. He found within his heart the warmness that
comes through genuine introspection. He found within his mouth the unpleasant
sensation of a hair caught in his throat.
When Bismarck’s human came home he found Bismarck laying on
his favorite down jacket, a hairball at his feet. The human’s first impulse was
to become angry. This was followed more appropriately by guilt. “I can’t
believe I left you home all day, just to sit there,” the human cried “you
deserve better.” The human proceeded to hug Bismarck effusively. In the same
way that a pin ruptures a balloon, the human effectively burst Bismarck’s
peace. Bismarck would have scratched him were he not the kind, loving soul that
he was.
That night Bismarck decided to show the human how to achieve
the source of warmth with which he was so well acquainted. He began by sitting
on the mat next to the tub while his human took a bath, providing emotional
solace. Subsequently, he drank from the faucet as the human brushed his teeth.
This action was performed to demonstrate to the human the importance of proper
hygiene. At last, the human got into his lumpy queen bed. He proceeded to
shiver and fidget. This is when Bismarck made his move.
With tender love and care he nuzzled up between the human’s
knees. When the owner moved said knees Bismarck followed the movement to the
small of the human’s back. When this wasn’t working for the human, Bismarck
meandered over to the pillow and the top of the human’s head. Finally, the
human displaced Bismarck from the bed.
