Mr Meow Our Kitty Comic

Mr. Meow Our Kitty Comic

While talking to our neighbor one day
Our cat Mr. Meow rubbed up against my leg
“Oh there is Saffron.” our neighbor said
“No, No, you must be misled
That is our tabby cat, Mr. Meow”
The neighbor shook her head and raised her eyebrow

“He has lived with us for about a year
We call him Mr. Meow since meowing is what we constantly hear
He followed my husband around the yard one day
We thought he was a stray and decided to let him stay”

“No, he was born next door
With several brothers and sisters on the shed floor”
Just then mama kitty walked up to Mr. Meow and they rubbed noses
Our yards were separated by a few trees and a bed of roses

“We got all his shots at the vet”
“We did too the day after we met”
We  started laughing and our neighbor said, “What a little comic mess	
Saffron alias Mr. Meow, the little con can be your cat I guess”

Mr. Meow, we discovered was a comedian
My husband and I were his biggest fans
To get our attention he would do a little prance
A hunched back like a Halloween cat dance

Many a day he brought us gifts, birds and rabbits
Without success we tried to break his serial killer habits
Laughing at him was what he liked most
Of course, he could be distracted by a piece of pork roast

During his sixteen years he learned to sit on command
He seemed to realize our dog Boodro got treats if he obeyed demands
We can't help but smile as we think of him
Our beloved tabby comic who always made us grin

A lovely poem, Shirley, congratulations. I'm in a similar situation- my Cat Celeste has a boyfirend who comes each morning for breakfast, snoozes, occasionally fights (and loses, even though he is older and bigger than she) then wanders off. We call him Smokey. I have no idea where he is from or what his real name is. All I know is, he's crippled my cat treat bill. Viv x
