Painting by Kim So-Hee (1983)

From the view of a 4 legs grimalkin like I am, I fathom the habitudes of my human;

  1. Lavish wet food for the tickled pink day after her beau wind up at our door.
  2. Dry food for the typical-ordinary day.
  3. Wet food plus vitamins for the spine-tingling day after some true crime documentaries.
  4. Lastly, ice cream for the sweeps and tidies up day.

I fathom and seize her habitudes perfectly.

But one day — on that eventide, as the moonflowers start to bloom;

I caught her misty-eyed as she poured the wet and the dry food side by side, eye-watering the dry food until it moistened.

Every now and then, I fathom the habitudes of my human;

No more lavish wet food for the tickled pink day, and moistened dry food roughly everyday.
