Just hold your cat horses

My cat's jumping at the bit. She's wired at the gate.. She's throwing a whiney fit, because her out doors time is late.. Punctual to the minute she won't tolerate a hitch. She lacks patience for my personal needs, if they impose a scheduling glitch.. "Let me eat this banana. It's in need of edible reckoning, so bruised, so brown, it's no longer beckoning." If nature calls abruptly I say, "I have to go". The whines grow more persistent. It irritates me so.. Cats have a variety of expressive vocal choices. Some times I just raise my voice and shout, "just hold your cat horses"!

I enjoyed reading your cute/fun Cat write. Love your ending, "just hold your cat horses"!  I had cats as a child. They live in a different world. They come first. Have a fun day with your cat...........

Hi Paula, After many years with a variety of pets, she is my one and only but very very smart in a feline way of course. Thanks for your visit dear Paula.

I had a cat who could dial into my every mood. When I was down she would lay at my bed and look at me with worry. I swear when my mood would change she I could see a grin on her face. Miss that animal. Cats are special no matter their personalities

Dear Marugu, Cats are incredibly intuitive so I completely believe in your observations. Google The Loney Cat by Kiffen, a musician. He's a musician that played the back up to cats vocals. It's so cute..

Very cute and so true with cats, Nancy!!! I really enjoyed this feline flight of fancy. I had a kitty growing up who would knock on the screen door when she wanted to come back inside! Like your kitty, patience was not one of her virtues! Brought back delightful memories! Thank you! Blessings to you as we enter Holy Week and walk another road to Resurrection.
