Pretty Kitty

PRETTY KITTY

They named her Princess
Coal black    with long    silken fur
She had this proud air
They had to laugh    thought it cute
Not Caesar    their bulldog brute

Caesar was not cute
had a face like a washboard
Always kept his place
But Princess had a free reign
And this caused Caesar great pain!

She ate at table
Was let out to freely roam
Welcomed on a lap
Not so Caesar    not so cool
He was too big   and    he drooled

He was patronized
Princess   her nose in the air
Scratched the furniture
Had a perfumed litter box
Once peed on the master’s sox

All this Caesar saw
Oh    it rankled in his craw
That snip of a cat!
Bring her down to Earth he vowed
Dump her from her fleecy cloud

And then one fine day
As the Princess sleeping lay
Head on velvet paws
Caesar    as was his habit
Lifted leg    let her have it!

Oh, poor Caesar! I was laughig out loud because I think these two cats are really yours. Maybe Caesar needs to resurrect and pursue passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. LOL Utterly purr-fect! Love, Carolyn

We don't have a dog, but we had a coal black cat named Smoky Bear. She wore a blue ribbon, wandered around with her nose in the air. Smoky would scream at the other cats. Good thing Caesar wasn't around. Love, Dave

Isn't it funny that critters can be jealous too? I had to laugh at the antics of these. Bulldogs aren't my fav to look at; like a washboard as you say. Luv, Lizzy.
