This morning I contemplated creating (Galatea-style), a metaphorical anger mascot.

Something with breathable fake fur and big flappy hands.

But I realized I have real pets who fit the bill–

An anger dog, an anger cat.

She rolls on her belly so I can pet her, but barks mercilessly at her compatriot

He snuggles close, however briefly, attempts his most disingenuous

Resting cat face

But I know I cannot

Let them

Run free.
