I miss my cat.
Sure, as Naris continually points out, there are plenty of cats in the Gallows that I could claim as my own. I practically already do that as I feed most of them anyway.
Valiant, though, he was my cat. He wasn’t just some mouser that gets fed by everyone and has more than a dozen names because every other child gives him a new one. My first act of magic was putting him back together.
Naris doesn’t understand that. Like the Gallows, Lowtown has dozens of cats and the random stray dog that have however many names people want to give them. They’re not like Valiant or even Mother’s old mabari Tristan.
Even Tara doesn’t really get it but she tries.
Most of the rest of the page is empty except for an addition near the bottom.
I think I’ll do what Tara suggested and claim a kitten from the next batch that’s born. As she put it, that way I’ll stop writing mopey journal entries (I don’t think this is mopey; do you think this is mopey?).
