Early morning musing.

The sound of a spoon scraping a yogurt container is fairly unique. (Not only way to make that sound 'unique' but not terribly common.) This morning that sound seemed empty, magnified, or off in some way. It could be because I am eating yogurt at a stupidly early time (before 6am) when I should be sleeping. But, as I sit here I realize, it's because there is no cat meowing in the background. As I said it is a fairly unique sound, and not just to me but to my cats. For years, whenever I ate yogurt, one or more cats would come running at that sound. And start meowing so I would give them the container to lick it clean.

It's been years since I lived with a cat, and I am miss them more at times like this, when I would have been the focus of so much attention and affection. Well, at least until I handed over the container.
