Cats Are Funny

Although you don't mean to be, you're funny to behold and when you pull those faux-pas, my laughter can't be controlled. First you tie yourself in knots and then climb up the wall. I find you in the laundry or in the shower stall. Once you rolled across the bed and then fell on your head. Looked at me as if to say "If you laugh at me, you're dead." Tried to jump to sit by me and you missed the chair. You just turned and stared at me like you didn't have a care. You perched on the curtain rod, the queen of all you see. but when you lost your footing you got up and glared at me. When you tried to get a drink and in the toilet fell, almost choked, so not to laugh, but I knew that you could tell. When you find a paper bag, you think that it's your house; crawl inside and try to hide, like you were a tiny mouse. When it's time to have a bath, you howl and scratch and scream. When you're soaped and soaking wet, your eye takes on dang'rous gleam You play with bathroom tissue and really make a mess, but I just put up with you, 'cause I couldn't love you less. When you make funny faces, I really want to laugh, but I do restrain myself, because you don't get the gaffe. All in all, I have to say that cats are comical, but all their crazy antics make life so wonderful.

Thanks, Jan. I think that it is VERY obvious that I live with a cat. I will be putting up some of the poems that I have written about my cat, Lucie.
