Evanna Lynch Instagram – “The thing is, I would sometimes go to Kersko by car to tend to the cats, but only in good weather. And when I did take the car and caught myself driving a little too fast, I’d slow down, because if I were to have an accident, what would become of the cats? And I’d only pass tractors and slow-moving trucks and cars, because if I had an accident while passing, what would become of my cats? When the roads were icy or it was snowing or raining, I’d take the bus, because that way I was sure to arrive safely. Yet even when I took the bus and sat in the front row, I’d suddenly wonder: What if the bus crashed? Who would feed the cats? And I’d move to a middle seat in the middle rows and remain alert so that if something happened I could dive out of harm’s way, because if anything happened to me, who would give milk to my cats?”
“Sometimes I felt so badly about those cats that I’d find myself wishing that both I and the cats could simply cease to exist.” 📖
Here’s a cute pic of Pablo and a couple excerpts from a gem of a book, ‘All My Cats’* by Bohumil Hrabal that perfectly captures the mental torment and existential quandaries a cat person endures when they are away from their cats. I felt so seen by the insane inner monologues of this writer/cat lover! For anyone who has ever left birthday parties, weddings, family holidays etc early because the image of your cat in the hallway sadly watching the front door for your return renders every social foray increasingly unenjoyable. 😿
Just know wherever I am, no matter what we are talking about, a large portion of my thoughts are always snaking their way back to the dark cosy enclaves at the back of my wardrobes where dwell my cats ♥️
*I would not recommend this book to people who are very sensitive to animal abuse, as the story takes a very dark turn. What it does do is make a very strong case for spaying and neutering companion animals however!!) | Posted on 12/Mar/2024 23:54:25
