Nothing...Nothing Is

---

Two days in a row now…that white cat...

Has come on the porch…in broad daylight…and attacked our best friend…the shrieking and thrashing…sending bumbling old folks scrambling…

To chase that bully away…

Cuz that’s what he is…a bully…a big white cat bully…don’t care how much he schmoozes the humans…when it comes to Best Friend…he goes for the throat…literally…

And Best Friend is scared…wary…and those old friends of his are scared too…because that’s not…who Best Friend is…

Best Friend used to be confident…brave…Best Friend used to feel safe…but the bully…is bigger…stronger…more powerful…

But that’s what bullies do…reel you in…with their cat like charms…become emboldened…then go for blood…just because they can…

That husband of mine…has vowed to keep Best Friend safe as long as we can…because what’s more important in life…than protecting those you love…

Nothing…nothing is…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
