A Letter from Smores

❤️Looking after you❤️

To Whom It May Concern (You, obviously),

I’ve noticed a dramatic drop in entertainment lately.
No ribbon dances, no string hunts, not even a decent sunbeam chase.
Frankly, the service around here has been subpar.

But… I still sit nearby.
I still wait for you to look up, even if just once.
Because I know something’s wrong.

You think I don’t understand, but I do.
You’re not just tired. You’re heavy.
You carry something invisible that even I can’t swat at—and I’ve tried.

Listen, I may hiss at Jack (he deserves it), and I may act like the Queen of the Known Universe (because I am),
but I love you. Fiercely. Unapologetically. Even when you forget to open the blinds or skip my fifth snack.

You don’t have to play for me to love you.
You don’t have to smile, or move, or even speak.
Just stay. That’s enough.

When you come back to life a little, I’ll be here—demanding snacks and attention with the same passion as always.
But until then, I’ll curl somewhere nearby, pretending not to watch you.
(But I am. Always.)

Now go drink water or something. You’re clearly not okay, and I prefer my humans alive and functioning.

With grace, glamour, and one extended claw,
Her Majesty Smores
(Supreme Overlord of the Living Room & Secret Softie)

Uma Carta da Smores

Just stay. That’s enough

A Quem Interessar (Tu, obviamente),

Notei uma queda dramática no entretenimento ultimamente.
Nada de danças com fitas, nem caçadas ao fio, nem sequer uma perseguição decente a um raio de sol.
Francamente, o serviço por aqui tem deixado muito a desejar.

Mas… continuo por perto.
Continuo à espera que olhes para mim, nem que seja só uma vez.
Porque sei que algo não está bem.

Achas que não percebo, mas percebo.
Não estás só cansada. Estás pesads.
Carregas algo invisível que nem eu lhe consigo dar uma patada e olha que tentei.

Escuta, posso bufar ao Jack (ele merece), e posso comportar-me como a Rainha do Universo Conhecido (porque sou),
mas amo-te. Com força. Sem desculpas. Mesmo quando te esqueces de abrir os estores ou saltas o meu quinto snack.

Não precisas de brincar para que eu te ame.
Não precisas de sorrir, nem de te mexer, nem sequer de falar.
Só tens de estar. Isso basta.

Quando voltares a sentir-te mais vivo, estarei aqui — a exigir snacks e atenção com a mesma paixão de sempre.
Mas até lá, vou enrolar-me algures por perto, a fingir que não estou a observar-te.
(Mas estou. Sempre.)

Agora vai beber água ou algo assim. Estás claramente em baixo, e eu prefiro os meus humanos vivos e a funcionar.

Com graça, glamour e uma garra estendida,
Sua Majestade Smores
(Soberana Suprema da Sala de Estar & Sensível em Segredo)

Now go drink water or something.

  1. Smores, you’ve just melted my heart. 🧡
    You see more than most humans do, and you put it into words purrfectly. Your human is lucky to have such a watchful, sassy, snack-demanding guardian. Hope all is well Carla.

    1. Thank you so much 💕 Smores carried me through some very rough times with her own special way of giving love and care. We’re on a healing path now, moving forward— with Jack’s help too. I’m so grateful for them both. All is going well, and I hope the same for you.

      1. That’s so beautiful 💕 Smores sounds like such a little soul-healer, and I’m glad Jack is part of that journey too. I’m really happy to hear things are moving in a good direction for you Carla. Sending you lots of love and strength as you keep going forward. 🧡
