From Whence You Came

From Whence You Came Lie straight, lie bent It is all the but smooth The fur upon your back, As your tongue rolls over All the same, all the same The eye quivers in sight Behold! There comes nothing But a sad, sudden light Come forth! Forward, you go For I am all the same All the same, all the same Warmth brightly tickles Every standing fur on your back Haste not away, for the warmth Is not easily driven away For it is all the same, all the same Spiral inward and out Come away and come again I love you–the warmth The lightness of your purr The excitement lit in dull corners For I love you all the same, All the same

Hell Joshua St., How old is your kitty? Are your grey Tabbies females? Or one male one female? I want o know is a male Tabby better than the female Tabby? I ask because i am thinking of getting a Tabby. Thank you. /Darlene/

Thank you! I have two grey tabbies, though this is about my kitty Walter. I'm glad you enjoyed! And you as well.
