seemingly overnight
baby yeti
has transformed from a crazy toddler with mini claws and fuzzy fur
into an awkward, gawky teenager
who’s not quite sure what to do
with his newly stretched out body and all his parts
can’t wait for the
sassiness
storming off to his room
eye-rolling
questionable choices
acting like he doesn’t know who i am
mercurial emotions
and the puberty talks.
—
“no matter where you are or where you grow up,
you always go through the same awkward moments of being a teenager
and growing up trying to figure out who you are.”

This makes me think of our cat Mickey (the white one who died)–it took him time to learn how to control his very long legs. Once he jumped onto a big coffee table we had, and them legs all spread out like a cartoon cat, he sailed across it. 🤣

Part of maturing is insanity: a lack of reasoning and logic while being emotionally adamant that you are right and everyone else is an idiot.

Brilliant! A teenage cat is something to marvel at, I never would have imagined but I guess all creatures go through that awkward transition…
