More weird dreams...

Okay...last night's dream was a strange one. I dreamt that I was sitting on a park bench about a mile away from my house at night. I was surfing the web on my laptop and cosettemonster was sleeping on the bench next to me, much like what she does at home when I'm sitting on my living room couch. I was packing things up, when all of a sudden, I heard the neighborhood dogs start barking. Something was wrong. When I looked up, I saw a coyote. Even though it was dark, I could tell that he was kind of a ruddy color. I could see pointed ears, a muzzle, and eyes that glowed in the dark. He started approaching, and I knew that he wanted to have cosettemonster for dinner . Fortunately for me, cosettemonster was still asleep and completely unaware as to what was going on...so I picked her up. If she had seen the coyote, she would have panicked and tried to run away. Carrying cosettemonster, I tried to shoo the annoying coyote away, thinking that coyotes are afraid of humans and that I might be able to scare it away. I even growled at it like a dog. It didn't work. The coyote yipped and before I knew it, I saw about seven or eight more pairs of glowing eyes. They came out of someone's backyard and started to surround me. Before I woke up, I realized that there was no way in hell I was going to put cosettemonster down and let her fend for herself. I also realized that chances were really good that I was about to get mauled and I was fully prepared to take one for the cat.

Yeah...I know...I'm a crazy cat lady. What can I say, I love that cat.

[Edit: So...I'm wondering if maybe this proves that I have a mother instinct after all, and since I have no human children, it's been displaced onto the cat. Just a thought.]
