Your mother warned you #3
Did you know? I upset you once, I might do so again. But the tender way you relate her stories, well. Something about words gleeful and strange, mewling or howling words, the fickle creatures, they leave me wanting and go curl up purring at your feet.

The cat imagery works fine but I was more struck by the choice of ‘relate’ rather than the more obvious ‘tell’ and that comma makes me wonder just how to read that ‘well’. I might be tempted to make it an entire one word sentence myself.

Jim: I like ‘relate’ because it can mean ‘give an account of’ as well as ‘make a connection to’ and in this case, both meanings were well suited.
Lore: Besos, ma cherie.
AUW: Yer brown bread, mate!

words are fickle, yet we curl nonetheless.
