A Cat Is a Misunderstood Creature

A cat is a misunderstood creature Friendliness her primary feature They say she's aloof But what is their proof? -- To sit up and beg you can't teach her! She'll curl up in your lap and she'll purr Invite you to rub her tummy fur She won't lick your face Or drool all over the place -- Unlike her arch-rival, poor mangy cur!

My cat is very friendly, but when she digs her claws into my lap when I pet her I wish she were less friendly!

Dare I mention this? --There's always neutering. Oy, I said it: The 'n' word (for cats, anyway). :) gw

Well, thank you, Ilene. Haven't had a cat for awhile, so it's good to hear that I'm on the right track! Best wishes, Gershon

amusing limerick. Although have to disagree with the teaching to beg part - evidently chips are the key - for mine at least!
