Diamond you were shy and wary,
Peeking from behind a crate,
Your gaze portrayed that we were scary,
So still, you sat, resigned to wait.
Pearl, in your white and silver coat so bright,
You moved with grace and eager trust,
You circled near with pure delight,
As though you were waiting for us just.
Indoors in gentle state you reign,
Soft sovereigns our control insures,
Your rule is complete in this domain,
You have taken this place and made it yours.
By day you claim the chairs as we leave,
By night, our bed is half your own,
No protest do you ever receive,
Your royal rights are well known.
This could have been such a cold place,
With all our children leaving us alone,
For love has filled each quiet space,
Pearl and Diamond you have claimed your throne.
Of course, the nine lives of cats
is a fond myth -- though they are
tenacious warriors and survivors --
That being said, the two I am owned
by, also have a marshmallow center,
affectionate and loving when nothing
to fear. Their purrs are therapeutic --
relaxing, in a sense spiritually
transcending. And no purity test
required with cats~ they either like
you, or not. Feed them what they want,
and they are a friend for life. Every
meal I am reminded of just how much
I love my wife; and how purr-fect our
relationship....
We put up the family Christmas tree,
decorated with lights for all to see.
Then, said have you seen the cat ?
Within the branches she sat -
and all day . . . that's where she wanted to be !
My parents said I could not keep the black, stray cat.
They explained our canary would not survive that.
Parents out, a sitter, and my four-year-old mind
let the cat in while hoping birds were numb designed.
I am ashamed to have plotted murder when four,
sad an innocent bird died cause I liked cats more.
The whole family loved that sweet cat, “Little Bit”,
plus, I swear, I never planned another death hit.
At twenty-two, I confessed to my family.
Shocked, they did say my child-self deserved a grammy.
More than a pet, Raja is our sweet child.
He fills all family hearts with true joy.
His luxurious fur is softly styled.
More than a pet, Raja is our sweet child.
A true sidekick, his help may get me riled.
Our love keeps growing for our sweet boy.
More than a pet, Raja is our sweet child.
He fills all family hearts with true joy
Wherever we are Raja wants to be.
He is quite verbal and smart as a whip.
Our family life is his true glee.
Wherever we are Raja wants to be.
Being a cat is truth he cannot see.
Raja heels so no problems on a trip.
Wherever we are Raja wants to be.
He is quite verbal and smart as a whip.
never loved cat ways
their tail-flicking arrogance
their unasked-for gaze
my family longed for one —
I yielded, keeping distance
stray kitten arrived
they all fawned gushed over it
but the cat chose me
the least interested one
who shooed and shoved it away
smitten by kitten
my heart disinterested
lurched to beat retreat
we're inseparable now
the kitten has claimed my lap
Some people have pets
Two cats in their homes
Or a dog and cat
Some people will choose
A big pup and cat
I know a person
She has both pets
A cat an adult
The dog is a pup
Lives in the same house
It took a while
For them to adjust
They are now friendly
Playing together
They are best of friends
They get along well
Sleep in the same bed
Eat side by side
Pets are family
Living together
Rusty Finds A Home!
Rust-hued kitty’s shunned by day, ignored through the night
Unloved and discarded in a world numb to his plight
As he meows by a door
Rusty meets family Tor
Who give him a home, protection and love glowing bright
—Robert Gorelick
Who could resist a kitty like Rusty
Who is lonely, scared and very dusty
Needing a safe home
Of his very own
And someone to adore him who’s trusty
—Beryl Edmunds
A shallow thinker of little integrity
A sycophant stinker and less empathy
A wanting to return to a golden age
which never existed,
with ludicrous rants that serve to enrage
Catty remarks weird and twisted...
Selflessly she married into a family,
it only makes her more inspiring
She won't hear the sounds of pitter patter,
Kamala, her husband and stepchildren matter!
I'm just a sweet, old grandpa cat,
and now I love to stay inside.
When I was young, I never sat;
out in the fields, I'd hunt and hide.
My family that cares for me
has shown me how to simply live
an indoor life that keeps me free
to share with them in all they give.
I love my small and comfy chair!
With cup of tea held by my paw-
read storybooks of what's out there
of animals I never saw.
With glasses that help me to see
and clothes to keep me warm and dry,
this old-time kitty must agree-
a happy grandpa cat am I!
EASTER BUNNY OF FLORIDA
God sends gifts to sensitive hearts.
My grandson left his pets behind
as we travelled from familiar parts
of Georgia to Florida. God is kind.
Muffin, given the first name of Stud
by my grand’s dad. A small bunny
in the tiny yard, was the color of mud.
God’s gifts, better than money.
The cottontail posed under the palm.
My grand wanted to take Muffin home.
The rabbit was his after Easter balm.
Then away he hopped as we drove home.
Grandson returns to his bunny, Buck,
and to his feral cat, Lily, who oft’ hides
under his parents quilt, surely awestruck
at the return of their family. Love abides.
Why don’t you stay home and play? The dog asked.
I explained the correlation between working and money.
You cannot eat money! Said the cat.
No, but money buys your kibble, I said.
The cat stuck out her tongue.
I don’t need food! Said the dog.
I need you to stay home and pet me.
I need to be part of the family.
We do not need you working.
I want her to work said the cat.
The dog was surprised.
I saw it in his eyes.
Why? Asked the dog.
She just stuck out her tongue at me said the cat.
So the cat is an interrupter and a liar.
Who knew?
Tippi’s kitty is more than a tiny bit intimidating
Most could not bear to be in the room with him
But Tippi knows his heart, and he has a gentle kindness
Toward her and her family, he does not mean to be mean
These kitties are my family
and I really do love them so
I care for all of their needs
and I hope they’ll never go
Rescued strays are what they are
they’ve come from all around
some call to me quite loudly
others barely make a sound
Varied personalities
yet the same in many ways
sometimes alone, sometimes together
they eat, they sleep, they play
How many homes do each of them have
they still roam all about
the doggie door’s always open
they know they’re never shut out
These kitties are my family
and I really do love them so
I care for all of their needs
and I hope they’ll never go
.
