I’m curled up taking my nap when Salem paws me awake. I narrow my eyes and pause for a second before I decide whether or not to kill him now or after I finish resting and have more energy.
“Hey,” he pokes me again, “why is our little human crying?”
I lift my head a little, “Oh that. He has a horrible disease.”
“No kidding?” His eyes get wide and he stares at the small human slumped over the kitchen table sobbing uncontrollably. He steps back a little, “I hope it’s not contagious. What does he have?”
“It’s called Algebra.”
Awww. So sad. I can relate to your small human.

Oh that is a horrible disease. One for which the only cure is living through it until you can dodge it in future years.

I’m so glad cats don’t get that. We have enough problems with fleas.

Ahahaha I was exposed to algebra in school but I already had antibodies from a bad case of math, so algebra never got past my immune system.

Not to worry, algebra is not chronic. A few years of suffering and you will be free of it. I never understood it and I would like to believe I am okay.
