Carpe Noctem

cat eyes

Pebble looked out into the dark wooded space that almost surrounded her house. it was almost 2 am, but of course the insomnia had to kick in, keeping Pebble up again, that or her horrid sleep schedule. 

Pebbles cat; Bird, was curled up on Pebbles bed as if it were his own. "Bird, you have your own bed, this is MY bed." Pebble said to the cat, as if he could even understand her. 

She laid her hand on hid head and he let out a little 'mrrp' as cats do,
"You're a little shit, you know that?" She said, chuckling.
Pebble sat down next to the curled up cat, petting him as he purred loudly.

The purr of a cat, what a nice contrast to crickets chirping at every moment they get, don't you think?

After an hour or so of petting Bird, Pebble checked the time, "4:30? No point in sleeping now, I suppose"

She got up from the bed, Bird jumping up and following her to the kitchen.
Grabbing a bowl from the cupboard, she pulled out a box of off brand cereal from next to the stove and poured herself a bowl.
'Mrow mrow' seems Bird wanted some too.
"You can't have this, it's dairy."
'MrOw!'
"No, I'll get you some cat food, you can eat that."

After a bit of back and forth between her and the cat, she picked up the dry food container.
'Mreow! Mrro!'
Bird loudly chirped as she poured food into his bowl.
Once the food was poured, he didn't waist a second running to it and eating.

"Now that you have your food, leave my cereal alone, ok?"

Pebble walked to the couch near the cats food bowl and sat down.
She started thinking about the day as she ate.
