Owl Slippers vs Cat

Like any girl, my cat loves shoes. I keep her in mind with the new pairs I buy. She looks in the morning to note what I choose, And then she observes while I zip, fold, or tie. Muddy today, it will likely be boots, And slippers in evening when feet are sore. She tackles the ones that seem the foe that hoots. They're a large owl's head that she hates -I adore. The slippers are now worn beyond flat. I'll buy one more pair of animal fun. Perhaps a Llama or a dog, but not a cat, 'Cause my Dee Dee enjoys being the only one. (a factual poem)

This is a most endearing and enjoyable poem. To choose suitable footware for any species can be problematic to say the least. A current of warm humour is the underlying motif here. Excellent. I’m pleased that Source Of Awareness met with your approval Howard

Hilda I have a cat too and I know what you’re talking about? I have had 24 cats in my life so far.. I only have one cat but I’d rather have four, at once. There is nothing like a cat. Poetry and cats somehow seem to go together they serve the soul.. I hope you have a great day.PR

Love strays but not allowed to feed them where I live! Look up on line what strays eat. Fascinating. They love mice! The best protein food for a cat. Strays are resorceful and fend for themselves. They sleep on my deck., too. We put out water for them, only. Huggs, Pangie

As for wanting 3 more cats, I also feed a stray male cat (very beautiful, white with black patches), who disappears from time to time. His kittens are beautiful. Thank you for your comment, fellow cat lady.

Really cute and an incite into the behavior of your cat. It's hard to know what they're thinking sometimes, but you seem to have a rapport and understanding of her behavior. The fact that you consider her feelings makes her a very lucky pet indeed! It's wonderful to do that. I reflects a special outlook on life and sharing spaces that could teach something to many people.

Thank you for your comment. She seems to have some empathy, which is fabulous for a cat. I was happy to write a second cat poem. There are a great many "cat people" who are always happy to hear more stories.

Bravo, Hilda! I found immense pleasure in your verses depicting the captivating tales of Dee Dee, as well as your witty contemplation on procuring an additional pair of whimsical animal companions. Perhaps a majestic Llama or a loyal canine, but certainly not a feline counterpart.

Thank you. I've communicated about her poems. She seems to cuddle down when I tell her she got another viewer. We both thank you.
