Mending the Blanket

I spread my blanket Quickly on the bed I see a small hole With needle and thread I begin to mend Working very slow I begin to mind My cat suddenly Jumps onto the bed I had to remove Pin cushion and ripper She sat on the blanket Exactly where I Was mending the hole I was unable To sew the blanket Instead I smiled As she stared at me I gave her a hug.

it is so true how cats are always right in your business or checking out any thing different in the home. They are so smart and intuitive. I just love them.

Cats are quite naughty. We feel like hugging them instead of spanking them for their mischief. I assume you have a cute cat Darlene !

Very darling! Such a sensitive heartfelt write. When they want our attention, there is no denying. I have two, always jumping in the me lap when they want, on my keyboard...wherever...they are boss. Dogs look up at us, cats look down on us...and pigs think they are our equal.

Hello Joe DiMinmo, thank you for the lovely comment. Yes when they want our attion they have a way to tell us. Like jumping onto the couch and giving one big Mew! Like last night. My cat wanted my company to go to bed.Yes I do think they think they are boss. Enjoy your day my friend.
