She would almost make me want to have mice, or rats. Probably because I’m weak right now. Or because I just tidied up my room, and all this void space distresses me. Or because my secret dream is putting my cat up into a cage, so that I always have it in sight like an animated plush toy, but without all the messing and tearing and scratching and eating electrical wire. Fortunately, a terrarium and all the necessary gear are too expensive for me to start this, right here, right now. I can still think about it again when I have a home and some money.
