I was at the mall when I saw this little white bunny hat. It was cheap. I wasn't planning to buy anything for my cat, but I immediately thought of Scarlet.
When I got home, I put it on her. You can see it on her face — she's not happy. She doesn't want to be a rabbit. She is a cat, and she knows it.
But she still wears it. Even though she clearly doesn't like it, she lets me.
And now, it's my favorite thing to see.
No matter how many problems I have, no matter how tired I am from the day, when I see her sitting in her drawer wearing that hat — all my problems disappear.
It's just so funny. She looks so incredibly cute. Her serious face with little bunny ears.
She doesn't know it, but by simply wearing it, she makes my life lighter.
This is Scarlet. My cat. She is not a rabbit. But she is the reason why everything feels okay again.
