Wonderful Surprise

WONDERFUL SURPRISE

              where’s our white kitty?
       on the plush    blue bathroom rug
                   suckling 5 kittens


              missed early breakfast
                     imagine our amazement
              mamma cat      new borns


                   it makes one wonder
                 how our tiny white kitty
                     had 5 black kittens?


              talking minuscule
                    a tiny   tiny kitten
                           hid under my thumb

                    Dave Austin

Love this Daver, a reflection of yourself, depicting wonder, appreciation and the kindness that makes you who you are. More kitties will never be too many for you.:) I saw a calico cat yesterday, is it true that all of these cats are female? Happy Thanksgiving, ours is this weekend, but yours will be coming up soon! Hugs with lots of love, Mikki

I'd like to have one of Snowflakes kittens, then I wonder if it would be fair to own a cat here when most of what I dream of is how to escape.:))

Speaking of kittens - our mamma cat, Snowflake just had four tiny black mites. HELP!
