Cat's Life
The problem with wanting to live like a cat is -- you are not a cat, after all.
Same goes for every role model.
When some thing is idealized, it becomes just that -- an idea. The act of idealization renders the animal -- or any role model -- two dimensional, like making a stamp, carving out all the complexity and unpleasant peculiarities of a cat's life to one or a couple of ideas that incidentally appeal to you.
Just try licking yourself as a replacement for that hot bath after work next time.

Roller coaster
Woke up at 5 in the morning. Couldn't sleep.
The air was damp and cold with the latecomer vengeance of an autumn. I sat down before the desk, and wrote this on an empty page:
Like a rolling stone?
Thanks for nothing, Dylan.

IT’S HARD TO STAND
STILL,
TO WALK ALONE,
TO BE ON YOUR OWN.
Like a rolling stone?
Thanks for nothing, Dylan.
