The Cat And Mouse

Mouse trap games are not meant for people like me. I bet once or twice in your life you have played this game. Did you like it? I for one hate it very much, it shows immaturity, insecurity and a disregard for other people’s feelings.

I, as a mouse wouldn’t play by the rules, it’s not in my nature. As much as I resist, I just tell the cat where I am, open and honestly, just wanting to be caught and get this chase over. I don’t like going around in circles, wondering what cat is going to do, If I get tired, I just don’t play. Can anybody find me boring? I know much better games we can play after I get caught. And what do you suppose would happen in all this? The cat gets easily bored, no chase, no game, no fuzz… the cat just walks away and I stand here feeling ridiculous. Cat, here I am, why won’t you catch me if that is what we both want?

As a cat I am no better. I don’t play the game as well either, I simply go for what I want. If I want you mouse, I will chase you, simple as that. My problem is that lately I chase the wrong kind of mice; the sneaky, the tricky, the one that always gets away and I can never catch but will make me think I’m about too. Of course I get sad and dissapointed because I couldn’t get what I want. I try to forget the mouse, there are better things to chase in life, but a certain thing always happens; just as soon as I get tired of playing this game and go back to bed, I feel a certain poking from a certain little mouse, just teasing me to keep playing, to start this game all over again… and I fall for it.

So even though I don’t like it, I end up playing. Sometimes I’m a fool and fall into the games, sometimes I like the upper hand and unconsciously take the advantage. I think my main reason for playing is that I haven’t found someone who gets me and likes better games than this one, much more fun games.
