Hybrid

by carolynholm

Winston,
When you are in a crazy mood like this, why do you always grab my hand and bite me?
Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Not always.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Well, okay, when I reach out to pet you. You instantly wrap around my hand with claws and teeth. Not hard, but just the same, annoying.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
That’s because your hand is like another cat!!! That’s what we do, how we greet each other!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
But I’m not a cat.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
WHAT????????????????
Winston

Winston,
I’m not.
Carolyn

Mom,
Not at all??????
Winston

Winston,
Not even a little. You know I’m a human, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
But part cat.
Winston

Dear Winston,
You think I’m part cat and part human? Like some kind of hybrid?
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
What’s a hybrid?
Winston

Dear Winston,
Never mind. Anyway, I’m not part cat.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Not sure about that.
Winston

Dear Winston,
I’ve noticed that you don’t wrap around Dad’s hand and bite and scratch him as a greeting.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
He’s not a cat.
Winston
