Cat-whipped

Cat-whipped

Apparently, our home’s, furry little empress, 
knows well how to count: will not settle for
less, of her required treat-amount – 4 bits of Friskies,
her mandate, not mine,
before and after each organic dine -- 

almost out, today I tried 2~
followed a disturbing, guttural
whine – So, I gave her one more;

dissatisfied, continued to opine...

pointing directly toward the door – 

Off I ran, feeling quite commanded

as if for criminal trial, Remanded!

Praying vociferously, yet open the store…. 

Her Majesty's proclamation~ a minimum of 4!!!!

Love my little kitties -- though they do boss me around quite a bit. As a farmer, you know...tend to the animals every morning before you have your coffee. Blessings my friend.

Yep, my cat counts, too. I hope this isn't my cat , and you live nearby. If so, she's being overfed. Cats are wonderful, aren't they?

I think so also -- dogs are OK too -- I don't have any: for me, too much licking a petting. Cats are just right:)

Ha! Every night after dinner my wife wants 4 chocolate pieces, not three, not five, always four. Come to think of it she does purr contentedly afterward

LOL. I know the script, Tom. A Joy to pamper wife! Age related, now having to do more of the cleaning and cooking in our home -- retired, I have another full time job -- with no weekends off:)
