Me And Cat

Cat speaks to me
Bloodless meows
And tranquil purrs —
We share a bond of trust
Though no common language
No prose, no poetry;

No organs or bells yet
Clearly sensed a collective chant —

Spirit knows our true cappella

Dialect skins, and beneath the Peelings —

Ahhh so nice this one. I would like to think my cat has a deep bond with me but he is not all that affectionate and probably doesn't even miss me when I am gone. Maybe a few previous cats I had seemed more bonded with me. Like people, cats are all so different.i love how cool they are. Btw, I answered about 1475 over at your comment

After all is said and done, the little or the lot they give us to me seems far more authentic than what I have gotten from some people. Who knows? Blessings my friend.

'Spirits know our true cappella' Enjoyed this line much, sensing the kind of bond you share. A love straight from the heart with no embellishments.

I always enjoy seeing cat poems. You are a really good guy if you are a cat person. They say men who love cats are men who understand women!

Hi Deb; I like dogs also they just require so much more attention -- too old for that.

Me and my cat, well, we love like that, he's very talkative and attention seeking active, but I LOVE HIM so. I enjoyed this precious, intelligent gem with an amazing last line..
