All for that little spider

You, little Java, suddenly jumping off my lap, climbing up on a chair just to get that little dark spider climbing up the wall.
Oh, what a pity that chair wasn’t stable enough!
You had to give up to catch the spider but, as any stubborn creature, you didn’t go away.
You kept standing up right and pointing your eyes and ears in the direction of the running away spider.
If you were an human I might have said that you looked dreamy and sad in that moment.

You have an house, people taking care of you.
You  have food, a comfortable nest and a whole chair for you.
Few minutes before you tried to get that spider you ate your food and a slice of my sausage,
you weren’t hungry at all, but…
that is you, with the instinct to “catch” anything that is moving and that is small enough to not scare you, stil, a kitty.

You were so absorbed by you “dream spinder” that you didn’t even notice me taking pictures of you.
You just answered with a “meaow” to the webmaster that kindly teasing you, asked: “What’s wrong little Java?”And then, again, you got back staring at the wall that, now, was empty.
Only several minutes later you completely gave up, got back curling up on your pillow.

Oh, little Java, despite I know you are just an 8 months old cat, for a moment I felt we were alike…

Dreaming about reaching “that something” that we don’t really need, but that we, somehow, feel the need to chase or, at least, stare at.

We do know you will try to catch the following black thing moving around you. No surprise, that’s your instinct.

I don’t know if there is something more than instinct moving you,
but I do know what moves me.
That’s the only reason that can make me able to do something more than just “staring at”.
