This week I have been sick with a terrible sinus infection that left me feeling just awful and I spent part of Tuesday and all of Wednesday home sick from work. While I was home my sweet cats curled up with me and loved on me trying to make me feel better. The smallest one, Persephone, was actually very angry that I got up and went to work today.
At one point on Wednesday Seph curled up on my chest and fell asleep so sweetly that I spent 20 minutes just looking at how cute she was. (yes, I AM one of those people obsessed with her cats) While she was asleep I started to think a very odd thought, what if I already got my wish? What if I already have a baby? What if I found my daughter and she's just not a human? I'm either very crazy or pretty brilliant because this thought gave me some comfort. What if I don't have to worry about getting a baby because I already have one? What if a human baby would just be a great bonus? Yup, sounds crazy to me too but it helps.
My cat Persephone possesses many traits and qualities from my husband and I and acts a lot like us, sometimes I imagine if I had a rowdy little girl she would be just like Seph is. So, if she has our traits, loves us and we love her, we take care of her and bring each other joy, don't I already have a daughter? She is one of those cats that never seems to leave the kitten stage so she still very much acts like a baby would. She wakes me up in the morning when she wants attention and can tell when I don't feel well. When TB tells the cat (yes, TELLS the cat) "You must have learned that from your mother," it makes me kinda happy and always makes me laugh. When I see her sleeping the same way I do or telling on one of her siblings I wonder if I already have three great furry children and if maybe this isn't just how its supposed to be.
Maybe fate doesn't have a baby in store for me, but maybe screw fate cause I already have one.
