Kitty visions

Mectin sleeps a lot. She sleeps a whole lot. I'm jealous. Is it wrong of me to sometimes wake her from her slumber to tell her I'm jealous? Is it wrong to wake her like she wakes me at 5 in the morning, as I paw at her face and make rude meow noises in her ear? No. .... okay, maybe a little. But as I sit procrastinating from my work, and looking at my sleeping Mectin, I wonder if she is procrastinating also. One could view her countless hours of sleep as procrastinating from doing the work that is laid out for a kitty. Work that involves saving the world, saving the whales and fighting for kitty-equality. Or maybe she is just in the visioning process. Maybe she spends hours of her day envisioning a world in which whales and cats dance equally in a field of dreams. So, I'm not too sure what I'm trying to say here. Maybe this is a desperate attempt at tricking myself into believe that at this moment, although I'm not doing the work I should be doing, I'm starting a dialogue about the justice of whales and cats. This is deep, my friends. (not really.)
So as Mectin lays sleeping, I still question her intention. I wonder if she thinks of anything other than licking her tail. (probably not.)
But maybe it's just a communication problem. Maybe she wakes me up at 5 am and desperately tries to tell me the secret of life, the key to ending the issues that face our society, what happens after we die. If Mectin could speak, would she say all of this? Is she trying to tell me that I'm wasting my time by trying to finish all of my work, and I really should just be taking a nap? Yeah, I think that's it.
Thank you Mectin, thank you for this moment of clarity amongst a lifetime of uncertainty.
