Kibble Kat has forgotten her password
Her phone could have been paw activated
But did she utilize that option?
No.
Phone is worthless now...

Queen Kitty gave Hero, the new puppy the rules
no eating my kibble, and there will be a lot of snuggling
He was ready for a nap so agreed quickly...

Kennel brimming with dogs,
kibble and bits main dish,
kneel down get doggie kiss,
knoll walk a special treat,
kinetic happy feet,
know they need family,
kindly adopt they're free.

NIGHT VISITOR

that comical face
watching me – so unconcerned
while tabby looks on

a bandit raccoon
eating with his tiny hands
while tabby looks on

empty kibble bowl
every morning at dawn
tabby just looked on...

Red Baron sits in his cockpit;
He fires off shot after shot;
As enemies perish.
Raging, waging battles;
He longs for home and the great burgers,
From Charlie Brown’s grill; 
No kibble tonight!

Indiana Kibble Kat was the kind of a professor that….
Taught us about adventure with a tip toe tat.
Regaling us with stories pulled out of his hat
Amazing us with his pet vampire bat.
We never had a better teacher than Professor Kat....

a quick glimpse of something
I run to get a closer look
red cardinal on railing
eyeing cat's kibble on porch table
dribble of rain smears the view
grass wears green brilliantly
lone sunshine yellow soldier of daffodil
April smiles at me through her showers...

We three cats of Halloween are
Bearing kibble, we travel so far
Yield and mountain, meow and fountain
Following a witch’s star


Oh…. Moon of wonder, circle so bright
Moon with royal Jack-o-lantern light
Eastward leading, still conceding
Guide us to thy perfect sight...

A bulldog, spaniel and terrier played a game of pool.
Relieving me of my money and kibble. I felt like a fool.
They saw my T-bone and started to be salivating a drool.
I offered to trade them for the kibble, trick kind of cruel.
The T-bone had been enchanted by a devilish ghoul.
Never trust a Maine coon cat is a very good dog rule....

Daydreams curdle in a summer heat.
He walks back from the park
dragging a wandering mind behind him
like an elderly dog.

The day gets warmer
he sends out for a margarita pizza,
wonders if lately
he has been dancing too closely
with sidewalk walking ghosts.

When the take-out arrives
it tastes as dry as kibble pie -
refried daydreams bark on....

Hi ho hi ho three black cats meowing so!
By blow, by blow, we laugh and sneer and glow.
We are the Halloween cats, stay out of our way.
We are making October memorable, happy and gay.

Hi ho hi ho three cats we readily be.
We sneer at witches, faeries, elves and black cats wee.
We love our kibble. We lap our milk with a hee hee hee.
We are truly excited to merry blessed be....

I believe in reincarnation more today than I ever have.
So when I spy a fat fluffy field mouse enjoying cat food,
I stamp my feet, encouraging her to run off.
She does not flinch, budge or stop devouring her treat.
Her tiny paws holding a kernel of Kibble like I hold my chips.
I say “Hi Dad,” knowing I am not going to hurt this creature.
I am in her world, outside, she is not in mine....

When I’ve a bit of attitude,
my Missy teaches gratitude.
At every meal, she salivates;
wagging her tail, she cleans her plate.
Do I pant such for thee, O Lord?
Or only when I can afford 
some spare coin on a Sunday morn,
forgetting the high cost you’ve born.
Be gentle, Lord, and by your grace,
remind me that you’ve set a place
A banquet, no mere kibble there:
Forgive and draw me near, my prayer....

Cardinals swoop in
Snatching tiny crunchy stars
Up in their beaks

Those little brownish red stars
Must be tasty I think
But I am not going to try them

Robin appears next 
Gives me a careful scolding
Snatches one up and gives me her tail.

The cat and I look at each other.
It’s your foot I tell her
Goading her.

Shark makes his way 
Toward a fat blue jay
Who has just flown in for a bit of kibble....

That is a persnickety pussycat someone said. 
She eats daintily with forethought, fork close to her head.
She wields a knife in the best technique of all.
Stabbing her fish with pizzazz and timely gall.

She is a food critic, she has wily wide ways.
Tasting our kibble and bits with tartar sauce glaze.
We see her doing it, and we cringe, waiting for her critique.
As a food critic goes, her reviews are harsh and unique....

Tabby in winter, with a tuft of snow on your head
You got slammed when they came down on that sled
If you get buried, it may be quite a little while
Before we can save you, St Bernard said with a smile

Then he noticed that there were Bernards on her scarf
How bad could she be? He told his friends with an arf.
Tabby in the snow glared at all of those happy dogs.
They ate up her chocolate kibble like untrained old hogs....

The old lady used to dance “back in the day”.
You are not that old said her tom cat gray.
The other cats agreed and said they would help.
She was so excited, she fed them kibble kelp.

The cats began dancing and were light on their paws.
The ravens in the belfry gave them an ovation with caws.
The old lady thought it was all for her and danced the night away.
Seven cats took a bow, and kept ovations going until the next day....

Cats clean the kitchen in a haphazard way
Leaping and jumping about on this fine Saturday
But why do you hire them? Asks a dog with a mission.
Because they are independent, do not ask permission.

Their mothers and dads do not know what they are about.
So, they can come in and clean, using cleaner and Shout.
They do not like money at all, it only costs me in kibble.
And they scare all the mice, so my cheese rarely has a nibble....

it is a lazy, warm, dog day afternoon on dry bone beach
some dogs come in wearing pinks, yellows, and peach
we check them in and give a bowl of kibble to each.
It is the least we can do, for empathy is what we teach.

dogs line their umbrellas in a line up and down the beach.
some of the small ones do not have an extra long reach
So they do not like volleyball, which we sometimes teach
But the big dogs love playing this on dry bone beach...

Eleven personable cats are living in a house with me
Meow Meow Meow Where is the food, old tired lady?
I go get the kibble, come back and what do I see?
Smart ones are in line with open mouths, meowing at me.
The others are either not as hungry, or not aware. I'm not sure which.
Some of them are chasing each other, one's eye has a twitch.
I sprinkle the kibble, and as it hits their aluminum bowls,
They run toward me with the happiest of kitten souls....

Forever friends we are and will always be said the white rat.
This was news to the faerie, but he was nicer than her old cat.
I can get you kibble, lettuce, bits of bacon, or other treats she said.
Just a bit of peanut butter please, the white rat quickly said.

But do not put in in one of those snappy things, please.
And I might ask your for a tiny bit of limburger cheese.
He was an easy pet, and fun in a variety of ways.
She taught him to boogie, and he taught her glaze clays....
