I can't commit, because I'm leaving soon

So we all have probably either had a friend or have found ourselves in a relationship we/they aren't entirely excited about. It starts out by them meeting some person kinda "okay" but mostly douchey, and peppered with asshole qualities. But sure enough, as time moves on, and they don't exactly have a lot of other options going on at the time, your friend finds themselves in some retarded relationship. Ridiculous incident after childish fight is forgiven in the hope that one day things will get better, that their now significant other will change. All in all, the time and emotions spent will one day pay off. All the while everyone is sitting in the wings, watching the repeating train wreck and eating popcorn. Waiting for the time they'll get to remind their friend about how they dated that jerk for so long, and your friend will say something like "Shut up. I was soooo dumb back then"

Now I must admit something. I'm in that relationship!

Except its with a cat.

I bet you thought I was launching into some Sex & City type of introspective narrative didn't you? I mean, I like Sex & the Ivy, but I'm not like her.

But yeah, actually everything started out pretty innocent by feeding this stray black cat. Then I named it 'Antarah'. Then it started just sitting outside our back door all day long wanting food. I became frustrated when realizing our relationship was a lot more give on my part, and a lot more take on his. But he actually will come if I call out his name, so thats entertaining. And over this weekend I saved him when he got into a fight with another cat. As much as I hate putting up with all of his petulant demands, and getting little back, it still goes on. There's not any other cats hanging around outside my door anyway.

Someday he'll change. Someday he won't just take the food and run away. Someday he'll let me pet his soft, fuzzy belly and purr. Someday everything will pay off. If you guys were there to see his little eyes, you'd understand.
