On Watching My Two Cats

I have two cats and love them very much. As kittens, they were so much fun to see. They’d snuggle with me too and liked my touch. Today they rarely even come to me! It makes me sad; on any given day I’m lucky if one sits close by my head when I lie down. I often watch them play most often near the foot of our huge bed. These days I don’t see them often play-fight. They used to be like wrestlers in training. They would roll and kick, and they’d even bite. Now they’re sedate; play-fight days are waning. I watch them curl up sweetly with each other - the ginger cat with eyes of yellow and the gorgeous white one, his blue-eyed brother. They groom each other; I find them so grand!

Bringing up cats is such fun. I used to enjoy it much once. But now no cats are allowed in my house as once my younger son got scratched by a cat and he had to take anti rabies injection. From then onwards, my hus prevents me from keeping cats at our house. Andrea, I know how cats are a part of your life. Beautiful poem.

Good Morning Andrea. Hi. I adore cats and the entire cat family from kittens to the mighty tigers and lions. You paint a most endearing and enchanting entry with imagery as we read. Yes, the cats tire themselves out and later just want to rest. I too like watching their behavior and play because they have much personality. (smile) Have a wonderful morning and day. Thank you for sharing this with us. Blessings always. (smile)

Mine (long ago) went through the rough housing too before mellowing. Much enjoyed. John
