This was at least the thirtieth time I had to climb this tree. I don't know who's cat this is or why I keep bothering with it, especially considering I'm highly allergic to cats and the snow. But without fail I drag myself out into the freezing snow, climb this tree to retrieve this black cat, and climb back down. I do not think about it anymore, it's second nature to me. I feel like it's all I ever do anymore, go out into the snow and get this cat. Once I am finally about to get comfortable again, that damn (pardon my French) cat gets stuck in the tree again. I tried to just leave it in the tree once, but the cat did not move. The cat stayed there without eating or drinking, I'm not even sure if it was breathing, while snow piled up on it. Even though I despise cats and snow, I could not find it in my heart to let the poor creature stay up in that tree. I would bring the cat inside to warm up every time I got it out of the tree, I even gave the feline some food and water. But the cat did not drink or eat, it would just mysteriously end up back in that tree. I long for the day this cat can just stay inside and comfort me. But for now, maybe forever, all I will do is go out into the snow, climb this tree, get this cat, bring it inside, wrap it up into a kitty burrito with a blanket, give it food and water, and repeat the process. Hopefully one day the cat will realize climbing up in that tree is doing it no good, and rejecting my food and water is a mistake. Hopefully one day the cat will realize staying with me will help both of us.
A very short story about the pursuit of happiness.
