Cat

Colorful coat leaving
Cursed once, but poignantly
Cherished fur tornadoes
Copiously on my
Couch seat while you snuggle
Closely as your thin frame
Captures love for what’s next

Really cute write Tom! Lovely feline...is she a calico? Hope she is with you for a few more years, their company and high jinks are well worth the "fur tornadoes". I have had cats and dogs all my life and I know all to well about the fur balls!:)

Congratulation on your win and your cat. Ours are still bouncing, on the laptop at times. For inspiration? Lost of wishes, Kai

Thanks, Kai! Inspiration is where you find it, or where it finds you, by climbing in your lap between you and what you're trying to do...

Fun read Tom. You need to introduce your cat to Buddy. Then there will really be some fur tornadoes. Lol I think everyone should own a pet. Great write, Tom. Good luck!

Thanks, Daniel! She's got a canine friend at home, and it's made for some adventurous times!
