Kibbles My Cat

One summers eve
I was watching tv
When a big fluffy cat strolled in
And meowed at me
I did not know
From where he had come
But I fed him, and stroked him
It was joyful and fun
Every day he would come back for more
Oh this big fluffy cat, I did so adore
It was one afternoon
When I spoke to a neighbor
 She told me that, I was his savior
She looked at me, and as she sighed
She told me that, his owner died
He adopted me to be his mum
My life with a cat had just begun
He gives me such joy, and always the giggles
Oh, and by the way I named him Kibbles
He fills my life with so much love and affection
When he puers on my lap, It's tranquil perfection
You never know whats coming your way
When Kibbles arrived, it was my lucky day!

Too very cute , Simone, and I can relate... I have my crazy cat, Gabriel, and my calm cat, Bronco.. think names should have been reversed somehow... they are my first cat pets.. always had large dogs before but downsized living quarters.. hence.. cats.. luv this poem .. printing it out for my cats to enjoy... glad u liked my tribute to Izzy .. a dear person and friend.. will be reading more of your poetry too...

How lucky you have been finding a friend in this cat. Great story! Great lines! My neighbour's cat, his name is Fritz, did not come being fed for some days now. Hope nothing has happened to him. Muchas gracias por su cometario de mi poema "El mar". I am still busy with packing before moving. So I have no idea when I will have the brake to post more poems. Keep writing...Gert

You've entered my turf in this poem Simone. I have a beautiful Manx cat whom I call "Tiger", he brings much joy to my life, I raised him from a kitten. An animal lover, is a lover from my own heart, of hearts. Sincerely, Moses

So many wonderful cats seem to have strayed into my life, Simone. This wonderful poem holds special meaning for me. For those who have never felt the affection of a feline, that "tranquil perfection" you describe has never been realized. Lovely write! Thanks for sharing, Carolyn
