Susan

I'm home and the cat hates me.

I don't want to be at home.

However, I do care that the cat hates me.

I tried feeding him, that didn't work. I let him sleep on my bed, but he still scowled when I offered him my half of the duvet. I tried to pet him, I even made a fuss about how glossy his coat was. His reply was nothing, but to turn his back and walk away.

He breaks my heart, every day.
