Shrinking Violet

Contentment

A cat curled in the rug of my soul
snug and purring,
licking sweet cream off its paws.

Kitty Kisses

I can count on you to make me laugh
Give me kisses
And I don't have to ask
Cuddle beside me
I'll rub you head
Just stay with me
Let's snuggle in bed
You're so soft, I love your purr
How silky is your orange fur
I know that I can count on you
To be there and love me, you always do
I'm done with men
I've had it, it's true
I have the love of my cat
To get me through
Unconditional Love

let me introduce ... tuxedo boy

best way
to describe him
charlie chaplin
wearing stan laurel's
black and white suit.

black hat, white gloves
funny walk..
does not say much
but forever making us laugh

he is just not sure,
why that tail thing
follows him everywhere...

loves the blucat...
the blucat tolerates him
but is warming by the hour

he is tod's new cat...
the blucat....gus is
geting on and prefers
to sleep...
timothy tuxedo
(he was going to be captain wrinkly drawers....but sanity
prevailed...can you imagine
standing at the the back door
and calling that cat..)
...plays
until he drops...
this will be a good thing

once tuxedo boy stops living
in the bottom of the shower...

that is his prefered quiet spot....
timothy tuxedo is our new
devon rex kitten....will try
to get picture soon

Callings

10W X 3

It wasn't the rooster's crowing,
that woke me
this morning.

The neighbor's pet's
loud declaration
intensifies.
blatantly,
it is moaning.

Nightcalls are
noisier tonight
mating's unfinished
dauntlessly, cat
keeps calling.

TUESDAY NIGHT

It is eight o'clock, after dinner...
Only distant stars adorn a blue-black moonless sky
Quiet evening, no voices screaming,
No vendors calling...
Not one nocturnal sound, to prove the night's existence
I hear numbered footfalls above,
A slightly, heavy weight, presses on the fiberglass roofing
Silently informing,
Very careful not to startle me with the roof creaking
I am not scared of its presence, for it knows...
This is me...I do not fuss, I do not bellow
There is no one else, it is only me it always follows,
Hidden in the dark, on me it never lurks...
A welcome cloaked friend, this stray cat in the shadows...

Emotional Support Animal

The greatest cure for depression
I have ever witnessed
Is a tiny little
cat named
Lil Bub

I was never a Cat person, but jeez that cat melts it's way right into your soul. I now truly believe in the ability of animals to help, when other things won't

the standoff

i come home
to
a mexican standdoff
of
sorts

on the inside
of
the window
the
little blucat
with
firebrush tail
and
arched back

facing off against

the big
busterfer jones
tom
from 3 doors
down

black
and white
persian
moggy
more than
twice
the size
of gus blucat

pressed
up
against
the outside
of the glass

normally
the
best of buds
but
there is
a
new girl
in town
and
she sings
a siren song

so it is
bared claw
at 3 paces

as i
put down
my keys
there is a
muted
thump,
thump.

they have
rushed
each other

forgeting
the magic
of glass

and now
as i
finish
r.o.l.f.ing

i see
they
have
retired
to their corners

with that
was'nt me
that did that
dumb thing
look

as they
wash their
paws
with backs
speaking volumes
and eyes still
crossed.

both cats are neutered
but still
in spring they dream....

Bipolar Love

After living upstairs for ages
At the graces of the old white hand
That fed you tender morsels
Let you in or out,
Cleaned up the messes
You left under the couch
And the kitchen floor
After you howled at me
In unexplained angst
After running off
To the psychedelic tom
Who abandoned you
In the kennel
After all that
I realized you weren’t ever
To be my lover,
Or even my friend,
Only my cat

blucat cleaning

he cleans his paws,
with a delicate pink tongue.
always the left first.

he is a cat of order,
not for him,
haphazard ways.

i sometimes wonder,
how he survives,
in our chaotic house.

but then,
i see him hidden up
high in the bookcase
watching us all, beneath him
dashing madly about,
with amusement,
quivering at his whiskers.

and after all...
he is...
the god of wrinkly things.

Purrrfect!

There is no greater joy,
When sitting of an eve,
When light has taken leave,
Than to watch a cat with toy!

To watch them jump and pounce
To see their antics... funny!
People would pay money
Would sell cat play by the ounce!

To see them jump and run!
To see their inner kitten,
All of us are smitten,
To watch them is such fun!

Watch how they endear!
They entertain for sure,
The delight is pure,
No catnip needed here!

From baby to full grown,
They are made for teasing!
It's so very pleasing...

... for a cat to own!

Little Kitty Friends

Little kitty friends are sweet,
They sometimes rub against my feet,
Little kitty friends make me smile;
And they brighten my every mile.
Little kitty friends are God's blessings from above,
Come to fill this world with love,
Little kitty friends are everywhere;
But remember: do handle yours with care!

*~Marian~

Probably not my best, but I just wanted to write something about kitty friends!! :) ~<3
Enjoy!!! :) ~~~<3
