Fight for Love

---

There’s a war in my house. It’s been going on for over seven years—and it happens every single night.

The battlefield? Our bed.
The warriors? Frank and Pistachio.
The prize? Sleeping next to my wife.

This isn’t a violent war. It’s a nightly standoff filled with tactics, timing, and determination. Pistachio takes the direct approach—he walks fast, racing to get to her side first. If someone’s already there, he pushes them away. And yes, that includes me.

Frank? Frank has a strategy.

If he’s already next to her and sees Pistachio approaching, he immediately starts crying—as if Pistachio is hurting him. Of course, he’s not. But Frank figured out that his dramatic cries trigger my wife’s protective instinct. She always pushes Pistachio away.

Every night, these two cats try to outmaneuver each other—not with claws, but with love.

It’s easy to say you care about someone. But do you show it? Do you fight for it?

Love isn’t just a feeling; it’s effort. It’s showing up. It’s persistence, creativity, and even a little drama. Frank and Pistachio may not write poetry or buy flowers, but they remind us that real love is something worth claiming.

And sometimes, worth scheming for.
