Dreams

***

The red cat, crossing over to the other world, yawns. He looks around, allowing himself to finally re-grow his small horns. Lazy sipping spreads a pleasant warmth over his body, and he walks slowly into the night world. There is always a quiet twilight here, but the cat’s eyes see everything clearly — the subtle curves of the paths, the flickering lights in the distance, the shadows whispering something inaudible to each other. He is not afraid. On the contrary, this place feels like home to him, even though he is rarely here. As he climbs higher and higher — up the stone ledges, through the soft patches of night grass — he thinks. About something warm, unreachable. A white cat with different eyes. He’d seen it in a dream once. Or was it real? He’s not sure. But that figure, a soft, almost glowing silhouette with eyes like bits of moon and night sky, never left his mind. ‘I wonder if I’ll find him here? ’ — slips into his mind. The cat takes another step, feeling the light night wind playing with his fur. Anything is possible in this world. Maybe a meeting, too. And just as he climbed peacefully onto one of the huge flowers, a pair of dragonflies sat down nearby. Sighing dreamily, the kitty lay down in a ball. Yawning, he dozed off, beginning to dream pleasant dreams. As soon as he closed his eyes, a white cat appeared in front of his eyes. He looked at him with a smile, his pupils dilated. It was obvious that he was interested. Green-blue eyes shimmered in the light and the ginger cat, looking at the white cat, smiled brightly and began to play with him, sometimes bumping his horns. White only purred brightly. White and Red were playing, and after that, started to lie down. As soon as they lay on their backs, Red started to caress White, hugging him with his paws and starting to flirt with him, to which he reciprocated. Meanwhile, while Red was sleeping, he was pawing at the flower and smiling, obviously wagging his tail. And the dreams and dreams of being with the white kitty were so beautiful... And there were so many times they could cross paths in the future if they both wanted to.
