Premium Member 'Tis not of feline lives we'll speak today,

'Tis not of feline lives we'll speak today,
Nor lords of meth-wrought realms bid hold us sway
Regrets we'll face, yet love shall not decay,
For life's true joys will guide us on our way
Not false deceits that liberty would bring,
But honest toil, our grateful hearts to sing
Though death may loom, our spirits e'er take wing,
As hope and faith their steady light will fling
The path is clear; if we but have the will
To cast aside the lures that would distill
Our moral strength: With courage, we fulfill
The promise that our better selves instill
Though shadows threaten, still our radiance glow,
Dispel the night, let humanities brilliant beams hours flow

Nine Lives Removed From Royal Dignity

Nine lives removed from royal dignity

Five days after 
getting acquainted with darling cats
pampered like queens courtesy 
thee eldest daughter 
and her partner acquired as kittens
reminiscence occurred regarding
one particular four footed feline
my late mother doted over.

Lion eyes hide predatory wage
sharp retractable sharp claw
never did the late Sage 
exhibit talon nor ferocious jaw
even when getting his nails clipped,
said gentle cat infrequently 
sunk daggers into soft human skin,
but upon completion 
of aforementioned onerous task, 
he voicelessly, soundlessly, passively, 
manly, joyfully did withdraw.

Aye attest tubby reincarnated
(as well mine eldest daughter's beau)
from one male Russian Blue
species Felis silvestris catus
named Morris if that gives 
a handy dandy clue,
and during my fuzzy past
hence, asthma “Cats Cradle” 
segued and Atlas 
shrugged off kitten hood
fur hum lee established
type cats as (tin pan) alley cat,
a rather litter boxed gritty debut

t'wood become (later in life) tabby
quick as greased lightning
snatching in the air,
when tender vittles flew,
technically got fired (acquiring
appropriate nicknames) 
as fame (like a bushy cat tail) grew
viz perfect back up crooner 
for “Cat Stevens”, 
or lead singer for 
the "Stray Cats" oddly

coupled, featured, and
incorporated with the guru
Horton Hears A Hoo,
yes him Elephant resembling
a humongous mandrake
from the, "Animals"
whose body heat could
easily melt an igloo,
whereby Inuits accepted charity from
Korean philanthropists named Joo
(founders of Palaces for Pachyderms)

these lumbering creatures possessed
an exemplary photographic memory
(rivaling that of the amazing
deceased idiot savant
Kim Peek), he knew
practically every detail
incorporating page number, punctuation 
plus citing word for word
never truncating, omitting, 
nor jumbling... any lines,
and could track missing link,

when felines shared common ancestor
but,...such petty files 
would most likely boar
and go way off course, and hence
will shy away being extempore
favoring a deliberate fore
ray padding around basically ignore
ring any rhyme or reason
suddenly ending this persiflage,
and thence to thee bon jour,
cuz yours truly off
in a huff to bang a lore.

Premium Member The Confident Cat

The peach sky mesmerized the kitten and enticed her to try
So she walked a tightrope, up close into the gorgeous light sky
The clouds turned into fish, giving her a feeling of dinner.
She felt honored and revered, she knew she was a winner.
Easy to forget what you are doing and lose your step,
But this cat was agile and had plenty of adoring pep.
She walked the high wire as well as any ballerina before her.
The onlookers watched with awe; many now adore her.
None realizing she was feral with a very scary life.
She is now a famous feline, and will make a terrific wife.
Many Toms woo her, but she takes time to make up her mind.
She has been through trauma, and needs one who is gentle and kind.

Premium Member The Leopard

The most elusive of all the big cats. A patient, intelligent, efficient
Hunter prowling and striking at prey with deadly intent and precision 
Enigmatic. Adaptable. Strategic. Endangered. The...

Leopard, a wild cat native to the Serengeti Savannah and South Asia
Expert tree climber with sharp talons and searingly intense cognac eyes.
Opportunistic, nocturnal, powerful, aesthetically striking 
Predator. A study in contradiction; simultaneously fierce and shy
Agile acrobat; quintessence of feline grace. A master of camouflage with
Rosettes on its fur and long tail. A ghost-like hunter, springing with
Deadly pounce. A loner. A stealth assassin

Premium Member Feline Frustration!

Today, our cat spent some time with the vet for his prognostication.
It had been a couple of years or so since Simba's last examination.
Simba had no say in the matter due to our paucity of conversation.
As I coaxed him into his carrying cage, he howled in desperation!

The vet and staff look forward to Simba's visit with little anticipation!
He gets rather grumpy at the vets, exhibiting aggressive agitation!
Hence, for examinations he must be placed under very heavy sedation;
Only then can the veterinarian proceed to practice his vocation!

His eyes, ears, nose and throat were fine including his respiration.
There was no evidence of fleas or any problems with his urination.
The old fella has only 16 of 28 teeth due to a previous operation,
But no matter, he eats like an army mule in handling mastication!

For his arthritis the vet prescribed a bottle of medication,
And for good measure he was given a rabies inoculation.
I'm aware that "cat-scans" are used in treating the human population.
By Jove! Simba received a true "cat"-scan as a part of his observation!

I anticipated receipt of the bill for the tests with some trepidation!
To pay for all of this, need I present an arm or leg for amputation?
After all, we'd do anything for our old pal, 'tis our obligation.
We want to keep him around for nine more lives for our delectation!

My Precious Feline

Once you beget, a four-legged friend into your life spirit
You begin an odyssey about yourself, starting-- within a minute
And greatest of all-- a love 'n caring commit

You will come away, changed forever all
For one soul cannot touch another soul
Without leaving its mark whole

A journey that will bring you more love 
And devotion than you have ever known of
It will also test your strength 'n courage enuff

It is the most precious gift embrace 
Any living soul can grace
You will not find it, often, among the human race

The journey will teach you many things, I bet 
About life, and to be a better person-- yet
Pay attention and learn well from your pet

When the journey is done 'n end
The individual your pet dependably knew who to depend 
The one they are proud to call-- ''My Beloved Friend'''

Cats

Cats are furry and feel warm to the touch 
Cats purr sometimes softly and sometimes loudly 
Cats have a mind 
Of their own
And like people
They have their own unique
Personalities

Cats
Cats like to escape 
Outside for to them 
The outside world 
Is like a playground 
With endless possibilities
Cats Like to 
Hunt birds
Cats like to chase mice 
And rats too
Cats can be friendly 
But also aggressive

Cats
I like you 
For I like 
To hear a friendly feline purr
And I enjoy 
A feline cat 
Curled up 
On my lap 
In the evening 
after I've had 
A hard and busy day 
At work

In Quarantine

Two words which once retained our feline friends
Or astronauts returning from the moon,
Now bear a threat which life itself suspends
As humankind is locked in a cocoon.

Restrained within the confines of our home
Deprived of freedom's customary range,
With meagre opportunities to roam,
We brace ourselves to undergo real change.

Yet breezes of fresh hope revive the air
As new priorities are gaining ground,
Regenerated hearts begin to care
And acts of generosity abound.

Though there will be disquietude and tears,
May we in faith surmount our present fears.
