Fat Cat

Hey diddle diddle, look at her middle. At the start, she was feather-light. Had her owners deprived her till I revived her? She’s sure got an appetite! What can I do? Feed her less kitty stew to keep her from getting so fat? See her lick up the platter; fatter and fatter yet happier is my cat! (based on a cat that I think must have been starved when we first got her, my favorite cat I ever had, Callie Cat) Oct. 6, 2009 for Regina Riddle's Write A Rhyme About Your Favorite Pet, Living Or Not Contest

Your Callie Cat sounds like a darling, just like your charming poem, this one should place high on the winner's list!

I miss my cat! Her name was Bilbo and she had quite a few kittens. Therefore, I can relate to this poem of yours. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

This is totally awesome Andrea - I love it - it is clever and witty - your grand-daughter has her grandma's good looks - congratulations you must be very proud of her, the Greeks have a saying - your child's child, is twice your child! Lovely young girl! Hugs, Jennifer.
