Rosie in on the Counter Again

She said to me:  “I am important. You should see me.”

I said: “I do see you. You make it very hard not to see

you. You jump on the counters and bat at my face with

your right paw.” And, she said: “That’s not about me.

That’s about you.” Surprised, I inquired: “How so?” And,

she circled her lean tortoiseshell body, tail arced, gold-

green eyes chasing mine, and meowed, so sweetly:

“That’s my way of saying: You are important too.”
