Challenge
Write from the POV of an animal
Write a story or poem from the point of view of an animal, ANY animal.
We talk about empathy, but it's usually for another human. So I want you to think from the perspective of an animal.
Winner will be chosen by the post with the most likes. There is a 500-word limit because I would love to read everyone's work. So put on your thinking hats and get to work!

Frickin’ giants left me again.
Must be a weekend trip: four bowls of chow and three bowls of water. I can tell based on the amount of food they leave.
Plus they turned Sportscenter on the TV, thinking that hearing announcers and crowds will make me feel less lonely. What a bunch of chumps.
So, after peeing on the bathroom rug; knocking over a glass of water from the coffee table; and parkouring off the forbidden couch, I nestle into its delicious squish and pur into the microfiber, planning my food ration for the next couple of days.
They’ll be back, I think as I lick the inside of my paw, scratching my nails on the back of my teeth. And they’ll be sorry they ever left me.
