Sunday Music: Your Cat Believes In You (Even When You Don’t)

If your cat was a therapist or even just a good friend, it would give you this advice:

And listen, about those bitter songs you sing

I swear I’m gonna bite you hard

And taste your tinny blood

If you don’t stop the self-defeating lies

You’ve been repeating since the day you brought me home

I know you’re strong
