Sandra, excellent Footle Series! This is the only Footle that has placed in the last 26 Poetry Marathon contests! Congratulations on your win on Mile 26 of my 2019 Poetry Marathon Contest. Only 1 contest to go before the final! ~Mark

Thank you so much, Mark! I thought I'd go with something light and cute, and am pleased that I made your winner's list. It doesn't seem possible that there's only one mile left before the final! Sandra :)

Thanks, Andrea! We share our love for cats! Although, I do not have one at my home now. But one of my daughters close by has a 20 lb Tuxedo cat that we can hold as a baby, and he is awesome! :) Hugs, Sandra

great job. I fear I did it wrong. I have never used footles to tell stories, I just do them the original way, making a joke with the titles of them. HOpe I can make some time to try it out this way!!

This is so cute Sandra! I love the picture with the poem. I have to read this one to my sister she has a cat that fits this theme.

Thank you, Tammy, I appreciate your nice comments. We had a cat, that we adored, but he would only eat cooked liver! And, we gave in--he lived to be 20! The memory of that kind of inspired me for this poem! Thanks again, Hugs, Sandra
