Not a Rat If I had a cat, but I don't and won't, but I might still. If I had a cat... I might, take flight, from fright, but that's alright, a kite, to make light, right from the start. If I had a cat? I would hug him, and pet her, and sneeze often, and at will. If I had a cat! I would laugh, as they are fun, to take with you on the run. They fit into everything, and make you sing funny. My throat is soar and kind of scratchy, but my love for the felines is not patchy. Meow.

I am sending you a cat. He will arrive in a few days. What is the address please? Ha! They are fun, and then they aren't. But then they are again. Like children.

I have had cats and dogs both... cats are easier to care for...some like attention, some don't...whereas dogs always demand it...allergic to them i am guessing? seems a common allergy... enjoyed this my friend :) hugs
