Four Legged Palettes

Cats are containers of colorful personality. A blue cat sits alone looking at the floor before him. His mind blank as, a new sketchbook; waiting for the artist within to, paint him into a clown. Red cats rage against life’s storms and invaders in their yard. Birds, squirrels and mice fear the wrath of a red cat; sharp teeth and claws are swift when, propelled by a red paw. Yellow cats have a tendency to leave surprise gastric gifts on your carpet, as much as possible; always apologizing with their pale, jaundiced eyes. The green cat personality is rare. You’ll find them holding it all in until they get to that litter box. Green behavior warrants a private box, along with a nice treat. Green cats, can’t stand a stench and will scratch litter for hours to slay a screaming smell. The purple cats see every opportunity for affection and milk it. Love emanates from their bones and cuddling is what they do best. When purple cats offer a hug, you cannot resist. Beware the polka-dotted cat! A love bite will quickly become piercing claws; shredding an arm in seconds. Pink cats are Coveted cats. Children love pink cats and carry them everywhere. Their serene and constant purring sings you to sleep, ever so gently. A pink cats love is never-ending. The rainbow personality, is the comedian of all cats. Light to dark and red to yellow; the court jester of the species. these side-splitting, laugh factories, will never allow you to be bored. Keep a camera handy; rainbow cats are usually, fabulous video celebrities

Let's see: You start with white cats, then dye them like Easter eggs, right?

If it suits your fancy...look deeper...cat personalities are more colorful than people think. Then again, maybe cats would rather be decorated for the holidays? Thanks for the visit.

Thank you so much. Cats just strike me as colorful and vibrant personalities, of which, no two are the same. Glad you stopped by again, James.

Wow! I didn't realize there were so many colorful personalities among cats. Your poem is irresistible. We have a white cat we call Spot. He is very unusual - cries like a baby and is everyone's friend. On our front porch is a gang of black cats. Some mornings we have as many as eight. There is also a silver tiger and a traditional tiger. Love, daver

Watch them, the personalities shine through like they were facets of diamonds, reflecting the colors all around them. Spot sounds quite lovable. Thanks so much for visiting again.
