Waving Cat

You see them perched in windows Of so many types of stores But really, they don’t blend at all In anyone’s decors. They range in size from tiny To those taking lots of space, All with the same expression – blank! Imprinted on each face. One waving paw moves up and down Ad nauseam, to me, I guess to greet the passersby In perpetuity. It blows my mind how such a fad Gains traction and persists. My hat goes off to every shop With keeper who resists.

How lovely to see a cat in a shop window ilene, that I would have to see, I am a real cat person and I have mine sitting on our window ledge at times soaking in the sun but to see one in a shop window, I am in awe of this. Beautiful poem my dear, loved it, hope you are well, take care.......Vera

Great write Ilene!. Those cats have to be center stage, in the way, trip hazards, etc You express excellent coverage of the fur ball kingdom! My best to you, chuck

I just don't see the attraction either, Mrs Ilene. Fads! You would think we would have more sense but then again we also elected Trump for president:)
