My Cat Likes Lizards

My cat likes lizards
while I prefer wizards
for breakfast or dinner each day
she also likes frogs 
that are sitting on logs
while I prefer drinking "Cool-aid."

She's just a poor cat 
nothing too wrong with that
even if she likes licking her paws,
I'll keep her my pet 
even when I'm upset
to see a lizard caught 
right in her jaws.

Hi Darlene, I'm pleased as punch you're a cat lover also but I have to admit that my 2 cats belong more to my wife and daughter than they do to me. I just get the luxury of feeding, cat box cleaning, paying the vet bills and asking them to kindly remove themselves from off my keyboard:) Thanks again for stopping by, Terry

Hi Bill, I'm sorry I missed this comment you posted last week but it's been a busy few weeks trying to fix a crashed computer and keep up with writing and other requirements of life. Thank you for the "Kitty cat comment" and I owe you a visit or two. Will do my best to catch up with you and your poetry ASAP. Thanks for understanding. Stay in touch, Terry

Andrea, I'm so sorry I missed seeing your comment earlier and glad to know you don't like the taste of lizards either! I've been dealing with some technology issues (meaning, computer problems) lately and I'm having to play "catch up" so please forgive my tardiness and lack of contact lately. We have 2 cats and I love your thoughts on our furry friends:) Cheerios, Terry

Had a bird feeder in the backyard until I realized I was just making it easier for my bird killer. It's amazing how sweet and cuddly a viscious predators like Mr. Bojangles can be ;)

Hi Steven, thanks for reading and sharing your own "Bird Killer" anecdote. And apologies for the late response due to the complexities of life. Cheerios, my friend.

Well Hello, Stranger, Uh, I mean, Jenna! It's ALWAYS a pleasure hearing from you and I owe U an apology 2 for my being so late to this party. But life has kept me on the run lately and I'm doing my best to get back to my PSoup family gathering. I promise to stop by soon. Toodle-loo, Terry

Such a cute naughty small poem ! I wish if I could own a cat that ate lizards ! I hate lizards and am tired of cleaning their excreta! I love your cat, Terrel....
