Still Life with Cat

I see you watching me through slitted eyes,  your mottled fur stretched tight across protruding ribs. Motionless, not a twitch from your mangled ear, as if you're made of stone. And I wonder if I could meld into hues of gray, learn how to be invisible, so no one would see me or know of my inadequacy.
