I Want a Cat

Ever since I moved from my old house Though not burdened with bird or mouse Though no pests, no moles nor rat I have found myself REALLY wanting a cat Without a feline residing with me I find myself exceedingly empty Without a furry, purry kitty I must say this new apartment is quite a pity! I haven’t a clue how much a bald one costs At any rate, without ANY, I’m so lost Missing that quiet, warm, sweet enmity Alas! A cat is my only remedy

Did you ever get a cat? I love poems about animals. I was happy to see this one. And I really love the first four lines of this poem. Great job! I hope you write more animal poems.

Hey Laura! Pets are always such great fun to have. We've an old dog (she'd hate that I'd written "old"...she has attitude :). This is a sweet verse, hope you get that furry/bald companion. Best wishes, love, Mikki

As far as I am aware the bald ones cost more and for my money are not as cuddly, enjoyed your poem, nice rhymes.

The bald ones are adorable in my opinion! But then again, I'm a weirdo. ;) Always, Laura

Cats make good pets once they are housebroken. I just hope you don't prize your chairs and couches too much. They like to dig their claws into the fabric. Good poem.
