Mending the Blanket

I spread my blanket 
Quickly on the bed
I see a small hole
With needle and thread
I begin to mend
Working very slow
I begin to mind
My cat suddenly 
Jumps onto the bed
I had to remove

Pin cushion and ripper
She sat on the blanket
Exactly where I
Was mending the hole
I was unable 
To sew the blanket
Instead I smiled 
As she stared at me
I gave her a hug.

Joe Dimino Date: 11/3/2022 3:37:00 PM Very darling! Such a sensitive heartfelt write. When they want our attention, there is no denying. I have two, always jumping in the me lap when they want, on my keyboard...wherever...they are boss. Dogs look up at us, cats look down on us...and pigs think they are our equal. Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 11/4/2022 10:39:00 AM Hello Joe DiMinmo, thank you for the lovely comment. Yes when they want our attion they have a way to tell us. Like jumping onto the couch and giving one big Mew! Like last night. My cat wanted my company to go to bed.Yes I do think they think they are boss. Enjoy your day my friend.
