Decastich-Faberette

Faberette is the name of my wild and incorrigible cat... down the stairs she scurries to keep intruders off my door; and she, with her sharps claws, challenges the most vicious dogs, who would like a match on my newly carpeted floor... without letting me breaking up the fight! Faberette, eat your food and grow strong, they will be back with their groan, but your meows won't do much; let me teach you how to win a fight and keep them off for good... more faith you must have in me! Faberette... come here and jump in my lap; Faberette...there's no need for fright! They haven't bothered you for a week now, they must have sensed a change indeed; and like friendly dogs they play and crawl, instead of pulling off your spotted fur! And cautiously you mingle with them with minimal fear... can cats and dogs in friendship suceed? But a word of caution I should make you aware of, not all of them can change and remain tame for long... Faberette, be slicker than they are! Faberette, on my leather couch lies under a warm blanket... I pat her, and her feline eyes flash the warmest glow; and I couldn't be more proud of this wonderful pet, keeping me company and share moments of joy! And on her birthday, I even buy her a kitten toy! O Faberette, my adorable cat!

Fabarette is getting some good advice (and love) from you, Andrew. I like the way you talk to her as though she were a child. Guess that's the way many pet owners feel -- like they're raising children who need to be loved and protected. This is a terrific entry for Constance's contest! Well done. Love, Carolyn

I like this! Baberette sounds like an adorable pet., Andrew! Some dogs and cats get along. Maybe they won't mess with her fur again! Great write! Peace and love, Audrey
