The Barking Cat

I sleep when I’m awake, I swim with wings and I talk in silence. I am different. But I feel hungry, thirsty, cold and I need to be petted, hugged, I long to hear a couple of kind words. Just like every creature. I, just like you, am a link on God’s chain; a stroke of His brush on His canvas; a note of the many that comprise His melody. It makes no difference if I’m Felix the Cat, Dumbo the Elephant or Rupaul, the Drag Queen. It makes no difference if I’m from Damascus, Havana or New Jersey; if I was born poor, rich, ugly, beautiful, clever or stupid. I was born, I’m growing up and I will die, hoping that I will be able to live next to you, in harmony.
