THE LOVE BITE


My cat Ruby, a plump orange tabby, loves to bite me.

"Cut it out," I cry.

"It's just a little love bite." She biffs my hand with her paw.

"It hurts! You've got fur to cover your skin, but I don't."

"Just a little nibble," she purrs.

I consider. "If you break skin, I'm going to holler."

She hates it when I holler. 

The last time I hollered, she hid under the bed.
