wet dreams

last night i dreamt that one of our cats was eaten by a whale.

in the dream i watched helplessly as the whale swam over to where we were working to stay afloat by treading water and doing whatever it is cats do to stay afloat. it looked at me, it looked at alice (my cat) and it opened it's massive maw and swallowed the cat whole then promptly swam away. i was screaming in anguish and horror and trying to swim after the whale, only to realise that resistance is indeed futile.

the dream was short enough that i never did find out what the hell i was doing treading water out in the middle of a large body of water with my cat.

i awoke quite saddened and was very happy to see alice this morning curled up at the bottom of the bed and much to her dismay i picked her up and started kissing her relentlessly and squeezing her close. she glared at me with the "did you not notice i was asleep?" look. i didn't care. she wasn't inside the belly of a whale. i was happy.
