Crazy Cat Lady

CRAZY CAT LADY
Two cats in the house, one white and one black The fat woman calls one Kite and the other Jack Wherever she goes her company they always keep On her both sides every night they would sleep. Jack would climb and roll on her broad shoulder Kite would sprawl on fluffy thighs for she is older As the lady sits on the sofa knitting a red sweater Fur and wool strands make her a colorful character. In separate bowls she’d give food to Jack and Kite For she needs peace, won’t like to see them fight All sounds of the room shut off she sits in the dark Listens happily the rhythm of the cats’ silent walk. She wouldn’t let anybody touch and caress her cats Nor would she allow them to be called animal pets For Jack and Kite have become her children already She doesn’t care if people cat call her crazy cat lady.

Nicely done, Subimal, you made me think when I lived in another state. I loved to go to a Mexican restaurant they would sometimes put us against the back wall in a booth. The windows were large and of course tinted and it faced the back alley. A home was on the other side of the alley also with large windows and curtains were always drawn. The woman in the house was known as the cat lady. We never knew how many cats were there , but when we sat in the booth they were always peeking out.

Thank you, Eve for sharing your experience. Yes, I know many so obsessive about their pets. I don't know if it is good or bad.
