Glitch Sounds

skysailorI woke up last night to the sound of weeping. Devastated sobs, poured out into the night. I got up and walked into my living room. "Hon, are you okay?" But no one was there to answer. Rabbit was fast asleep in their room.
I returned to my room, and quickly found the source of the sound. Our cat Glitch, small goddess of dreams, fate and the repose of true death, was snoring in her sleep. She woke up after I came back, and the weeping ceased with her awakening.
It's the most common when she snores, I think, the sounds. Sometimes they are just snoring, small, squeaky sighs of slumber. But other times, it's the quiet murmur of human voices, a conversation just beyond one's earshot. "Who is that?" Rabbit has asked before, only to realize she's fallen asleep in their room.
She has noises when she's awake, too. Not most of the time, which I think is why they're so unsettling when they come. I get so accustomed to silences, to food meows, to happy trills and rumbling purrs. She does purr a little oddly - when she's happy enough, the purr rounds into pigeon coos, as if all of a sudden I've a bird in my lap. Those times are adorable. But other times, a night will come dark, and both Rabbit and I will hear a small child's voice at the door.
"Hello?" the child says. "Hello?"
It's Glitch, asking to be taken out on a walk.
Though I'm still not entirely sure if she's the only one asking to go.
