Is Twenty Eight Cats Enough

Is twenty-eight cats extensive? She asked. We dared not speak to our Mama Masked. She has lots of money, and no dependents yet. If she dies, the ones who please her will be totally set. Oh, not, I lied. Twenty-eight is not enough. The next time I visited she had a new cat, Stuff. They were soon joined by Twixt, Trouble and Twee. I was beyond allergic, sneezing from my nose to my knee. I have thirty-six kitties now, what do you think? My face was all red, my nose was bright pink. Surely you could bring in another two or three. I gave her what she wanted at the expense of me.

A fun little poem Caren. But I must say, twenty-eight cats is twenty-eight too many. Have a joyous day.
