Kelly and the Telly

Written by Gail DeBole on March 16, 2020

There once was a kitty named Kelly 
Who watched his shows on the telly. 
When someone massaged his ears 
Kelly’s purr became clear 
And he became one cheerful felly.

Did this Kelly the kitty happen to come from the Isle of Man? They have indigenous cats with stubby tails. Nice write.

Hi Robert, Thanks for your interest! If I remember correctly, there was a kitten posted on Twitter that inspired this. Can't remember which one - there's so many of them, but I think it was specifically about a cat who lived in a bar somewhere in England. Name has been changed to protect his identity and to rhyme with telly (LOL). - Gail

You got to love them. I have two strays who picked me to honor with presence and affection. As long as keep giving them treats and 'all natural' cat food. A sucker I know:)
