My Smokey

is selfish

She is selfish and I am selfish

​

And we have the perfect relationship.

​

Sometimes I want to be with her. I will touch her or pick her up. Maybe she accepts for a little bit and then walks away. She might insist on leaving immediately. Or maybe she will stay with me much longer. She often purrs for me. I like that.

​

I can rely on her accepting me when she wants to and rejecting me when she likes. I prefer if she accepts me, but I don't feel bad if she rejects me. Who would want someone to be with them if they didn't want to be with them?

​

Sometimes she wants to be with me. She knows how to let me know that. If I'm in the mood, I will hold her, pet her, or play with her. If not, I will ignore her or push her away. She never seems to feel rejected when I push her away. She accepts and maybe comes back later and tries again.

​

We have the perfect relationship in which our selfishnesses dovetail when they do and we respect when they don't.
