Madame Brooke was proud of her ten different cats. She fed them the finest canned food but never on rats. Each day when the weather was warm she had her routine, Twice a day, with their favourite food and water clean. Each cat had its particular taste and never fought To eat from other's special plates, for so Madame taught. Each cat had two clean bowls and all specially chosen, Food with chicken, turkey, anchovies, no rules broken. One red bowl filled with tasty mash, the blue with water Poured out from a clean kettle as her mother taught her. Then, being Spring, round the pool she'd lay her double bowls, Go to rest on her bench, watching the boys with their rods Fishing and playing along the far shore of the lake Which she loved and take note that none suffered for their sake.

I have known a few great cat lovers, no expense spared. One Liefy had funds raised for cancer surgery on it's ears. Shalom shalom 4 kindness.

Your pic is as cute as your poem - the kittens are adorable and and i'm sure, their energy and appetite perpetual - both tickled me pink . Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

What a fun poem, I find cats to be finicky, some like tuna, while others are beef eaters! At one time as a child, I had 13 cats...I'd leave food outside, they'd come around...that's when there were plenty of strays! Thank you for your read.

Beautiful cats and a fabulous poem to match. I know a lady who has eight house cats, but Madame Brooke beats that… Belle

Such an adorable share, there are many poems about dogs, but very few good ones on cats. Wonderful share.. Silpika

Here lately haven’t been to fond of cats,They’re too busy multiplying around my neighborhood. I wonder if she was enjoying watching those boys so a little bit more than what she should be. Great write Victor

Victor, you've written a really enjoyable and very well told. Madame Brooke seems to be quite conscientious when it comes to supporting her cats. The combination of a very exemplary picture and really special poetry is something remarkable.
