Catz

CATZ Who thinks they understand cats, Why they behave as they do? I don’t know, how ‘bout you? Why my sly, fickle feline Demands attention Tuesday Then, Wednesday, walks away? Why, most cats are such gourmets. You think he’ll only like fish, Always pukes beef in his dish. So, you splurge, buy fancy feast – Finest fish and shrimp delight. That’s right. Puss can’t stand the sight. Well? He must prefer chicken. I serve both dark meat and white. Oh, no! Please, cat, take a bite. How about expensive toys – A wind-up mouse, fishing line You guessed it – a waste of time. The pretty girl at Petsmart Says cats like to hideaway, A box where they’ll love to stray So, I buy a nice retreat He sniffs it, then walks away, Squats on the news, plain as day I watch as they teach dogs tricks, Simplest of which is sit! Puss will do the opposite. Then that awful accident, The abominable spray – Mine does it every day. Hey, you who understand cats! If you’re hip, give me your name. I’m about to go insane!

daver, I love this cat poem. I still can't get out the urine odor that one cat left in my basement and now I am afraid to get a new cat for fear it will smell what the old one did and repeat the acts. HELP. Do you have any advice for ME???

I have a secret to tell you: I'm terrified of cats. Fantastic animals very independent and wise. Cats love ME but I'm not confident about cats. Wise cat poems. oxox love / / Anne-Lise :) :) :)

Do you still have all those kitties you told us about a few months ago? If you didn'thave such a big soft heart you wouldn't be in the mess your in. I know because I was a sucker for every hungry stray that passed by. What doyou mean "they spray" Ithoughtonly skunks did that. I enjoy the pictureofyou inthis one Dave. Luv, Lizzie

Your cat is so finicky and independent, Daver! Plays you like you're it's own fiddle.:) Sounds like it has hit some screeching strings. Love this write! Good luck with recruiting help to understand them! Love, Mikki
