Awakened From a Deep Sleep

In the sunshine on the living-room rug
     Sparkles was asleep in the sun
     How I longed to give her a hug
      He ears perked up from her sleep
       When she heard a Dove's sing
        Quickly she bounded
         To the glass door
          On the floor
           She sat
            Stared

Sweet little kitties. They do sense sound and motion. I know she gave you a hug once the excitement of the dove passed. :)

Really lovely, Darlene! These are real moments of life when we observe things happening in our surrounding we might not have noticed before! Even a cat enjoys a dove's song! Your Sparkles must be very special! Love ~ Mala

Sparkle, I am sure has a keen sense of hearing. In fact all cats have. A rug is a cat's most cozy place of rest. Love the poem Darlene

Cats are great company and meditation to wonder -- doves are music. Of course, to other friends of ours, they are more a meal. Who knows. I had a black cat that seemed to love birds...would not hurt a feather. Go figure.
