Worse yet, after the fact when you wish you did things differently.
Just the other nite I went to fetch the kitty. He's an indoor cat, we want to think, but he has different plans.
He's outside, its 3 am, time for bed so I go to retrieve him. He's in the yard. I stalk him carefully. Get right next to him, and reach out to grab him. I feel his fur, but for some reason I hesitate. Maybe he'll scratch me. Maybe I will grab him too hard. All these things cross through my mind and I pull back a little.
And he slips away, runs into the neighbors yard and I went in for the nite minus one kitty.
I keep telling myself I just need to learn, never hesitate. I kick myself for it always.
you obviously weren't there alone. why didn't you tell someone to kick some ass? would that not have been the appropriate thing to do? i would have kicked major ass if it were me in that situation.
