Jealousy is an animal instinct

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I hope everything is great for you over there, and you are healthy and happy.  I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart.  You are MY girl, and I will marry you inshaAllah.

I did my laundry this morning.  Whenever I do laundry, I have to leave the back door open so the hose can run out.  The back door is closed in by a cage which I keep the motorcycle in at night, and the cats always venture into the cage to observe the world outside.  A male cat always patrols the yard as part of their territory.  Outdoors male cats don't have long lives, but there is always another to replace the fallen.  At this time, a brown male with a long tail and long fur patrols the yard.  Lookie went to the door of the cage and flirted with him.  Adolf Kitler saw her flirt with the brown cat and boy, he was furious!  He lunged at the brown cat, and tried to punch him through the wire mesh.  Lookie was caught in the middle, so she got upset and gave Adolf a swat.  Eventually I got there and chased the brown cat away.  But Adolf was still angry, and Lookie was angry with him, so I had to use a stick to push Adolf into the kitty litter room and shut the door.  That left me in peace to prepare my lunch.  While I did so, I gave Lookie a lecture: "Why did you have to make him jealous?  Oh forget it, I know why.  Let's just say that it's not necessary to make him jealous.  Don't you realize how strong he is?  And I'm the one who gets mauled!"  She gloated, and flirted with me while I was cooking for some snacks.  Adolf calmed down after a while, and I gave him some fish heads.  Lookie became more tolerant to Adolf after a few hours, just in time for dinner.  Yeah, jealousy is an animal instinct.  Just like suicide.
