China Jon's Syncretic Journal

An American in China

Kitty

At first I felt a softness,
like a warm hypnotic trance.
Then I sensed a rumble,
like thunder in the distance.

A smile bends my cheek,
like the wonderment of youth.
How can a little kitten
give me such loving truth?

I won't have a pet where I now live in China, but if I lived in a safe place, I would like to have a cat.

Having a dog here is just too much trouble.

There is no place for them to have enough exercise, and besides, I am out of the house for days at a time as I commute back and forth to work.

Cats are much better at taking care of themselves.

Cats are very independent and if you're worried about safety, you could always keep it in the house. I've had several cats, and the one that stayed in the house was especially content and extremely affectionate - her name was Missy.

I hope you get a cat.
