Starving

by carolynholm

Hey Mom,
I’m hungry.
Winston

Dear Winston,
I just fed you.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I’m still hungry.
Winston

Dear Winston,
I appreciate it when you tell me you are hungry, with your voice, instead of acting out with biting and scratching. Hunger turns you into such a vicious beast! Anyway, I just fed you. Again.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I’m hungry.
Winston

Dear Winston,
You don’t have to draw blood to make your point. I get it. I would give you some more, but you haven’t finished what I gave you fifteen minutes ago.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I don’t like that kind of food any more. And I’m hungry.
Winston

Dear Winston,
You liked it this morning. When you’ve finished most of it, I’ll feed you more. Maybe a different flavor this time.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I finished it. I’m still hungry.
Winston

Dear Winston,
I’ve never seen a cat eat so much. So often. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I’m still hungry.
Winston
