With Cats It's Secret

WITH CATS IT’S SECRET

stays on fingertips
the softness as though rubbed off
a quiet presence

the expectation
in her simple meowing
and i understand
	
the dog is open
not so the domestic cat
so still and secret

in that pea green boat
the owl and the pussy cat
at sea with secrets

kitty cat has been
to london to see the queen
what did he there?

yes, Daver, I feel so sorry for the outdoors cat. It is like with humans. Getting stuck born into a terrible country of poverty vs. Being born into a land of plenty!!

"Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you do there? I frightened a little mouse, under the chair.'' That one might feel more chivalrous, like puss 'n boots, Daver? No wind here tonight, but the air outside is alive with sounds. Keep well and have an amazingly great Easter! Love, Mikki

Hola, Daver, oooo, I want to know, why the cat's a mystery, ... When it comes to my dog, I know how he feels, or what he needs.. Never does he look my way, with wonder... But, when my cat looks at me. I wonder, what the HEEP! is it thinking. Where, has it been. It, should not be called Pandora's Box. It should be called, CATDORA'S SECRET..... Guarded well.... xox~ Linda
