CONCERNING CATS
I've never met a one I didn't like
Most impossible not to adore
No two I've ever known are just alike
Some content, som always wanting more.
Affectionate? Aloof? It doesn't matter.
'Tis their indpendence makes them most appealing
Even if they only mean to flatter
And engage in shameless double dealing.
A Frenchamn asked, "Do I play with my cat ––
Or is it that the creature plays with me?"
Or is it that the creature plays with me?"
I feel most think the latter. Don't doubt that.
It's obvious to all with eyes to see.
I'll make right now an honest revelation
I never mind a cat's manipulation!.
Most are quite astonishingly agile
Few if any think that they are fragile
And yet, because they make me feel I'm needed,
This guarantees their getting what they want
No matter what they've done, they have succeeded.
In always getting me to bear the brunt!

We have a cat who used to be and still is somewhat of a feral. Spends time in and out of the house. I let her out this morrning at 29 degrees. She was out for 1/2 second before proclaiming 'Hey wait, I'm an indoor cat now!" and rushed back in.
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar, Kid. Every cat I ever had was of the indoor-outdoor variety, until I moved south. They tend to behave differently down here, and get into trouble more easily. Or maybe it's because I'm older and feel they are more precious than ever before now. I don't know. I sure do love 'em.
