I woke up crying last night. I was kind of in this semi-concious dream like state and I was just remembering when I got Friedrich. I had one of those temporary cardboard cat carriers. I was in college and I didn't have a car so my friend Ben took me to pick him up from the cat lady. I peeked into the box on the way back and we stopped to get some cat food.
Then there was this other time when he ran outside during a rain storm. I was using a water bottle train him. He thought that because I didn't want him out that I was somehow spraying him with the water bottle. He was trying to dodge the rain. He ran back in with minimal soakiness.
So I woke up thinking that he'd be there sleeping by my feet like he always used to be. I realized that I was in a different place.
