The Lovecats

A calico kitten ran by,
Alert and rather spry.
Home she went,
Now she’s spent.
From running into my room just to lie.

curious little humans
attacking flies in mid air
tapping the air with tiny paws
sitting on windowsills
watching birds

Cats static, unlikely. They'd rather play in the big fish tank. It's the notion of prey in motion, fish.

Who's Worth Watching

You post my photo
Either group or solo
You want to watch me
But the feeling is not the same
I've gotta watch my favorite tv show

They sucked up all their water
It rained cats and dogs!

Cats,Train and a Shadow

cats escaped
from train screams
a shadow watching
behind the station wall
no moving

no witnesses that moment
the wheather is very cold

Premium Member Brazen Indian Cats

Indian cats do a cha cha cha
Four cartoons which were easy to draw
One breaks rank and yells rah rah rah!
They are as brazen as I ever saw!

Premium Member Black Cats

Black as the darkest of nights
Haunting beneath city lights
A stray to bring chills
To those who get thrills
From eerie cats causing frights

I Went to the farm at night
I wanted some fresh ginger
I had it, on the way back 
I saw three nice looking red cats
Interesting looking at!

There is a lady named Sherry
Who’s laugh is a blast quite merry
When asked if she shaves
She says no right away
Her cats prefer her legs hairy

The Eyes of Cats

Twin stars in the gloom
unblinking yet containing
secrets to be told.
Young and old where wisdom hold
always in search for wonders.

Premium Member Reigning Cats

Canines would say that all cats do reign;
even though impossible to train.
While dogs defer;
a cat will purr
while looking on in quiet disdain.

Premium Member The best thing about cats

Having a bad hair day?
You’ve gained a couple of unsightly pounds?
No makeup? Cats don’t care.

Sleeping Cats

Tumbled together cats
lumps of furry bliss
snores exuding
from pillows underneath 
One wakes
with a purr
and stretches out
the paws with claws

Premium Member Thinking Is Overrated

It's not your looks, I
like but what you are INSIDE
*talking to my fridge*

Sometimes I pretend
that I’m dying to see if 
my cat would save me.

The Art of the Cats

Creeping quietly, crawling slowly
Walking stealthly, eying hungrily
Waiting patiently, calculating rapidly
the cat pranced, on the rat soon deceased
