I once had a cat,
I thought it a he,
But it was a she,
and then she got fat,
had lot of kittens
of which I was smitten,
Then the kittens had kittens,
And I lost my smitten,
Oh by the way,
would you like a cat,
Maybe two, maybe three?
I’ll give you a he,
But if it’s a she,
I’ll swear it's not fat,
Hey, what do you say?

I'd say...I know how you can fix the problem...
and then I'll take one...

"I know how you can fix the problem"   that's the same thing my wife said after the birth of the twins, and I still am having nightmares and fear the snipping of scissors...

Once? I was one half of socks--
until they needed wash.
They put us in the dryer--then?
I'm not quite sure which one is lost...

(toss me a towel will ya...feeling nekkid here) sigh...

purrrrrrrrr..........

(serenity exits, licking her paw, and her other paw, and her eyebrows...and...OH. damn..they were watching. grin. I-didn't-do-dat.)  

*sneaking a lick on paw*

Sounds like Sunshine's solution is a bit too late. I had the same problem once with my kids pet rats...sigh, but that's another story.  Loved the smile in this, by the way.

LOL...yes Tim...I should have said, if you fix the ones you're planning on giving away...why then, I'm right outside your door!  Quit clenching your teeth....

Your poem is the cat's meow!

Thanks for the offer, but my kitty's the only meow I need for now! LOL

Thanx for the guffaw!

The dogs killed both of the stray kittens
living next door
that we were taking care of.

Believe me, Tim, snip snip
is a wise alternative to two graves.

The first few lines took me back to a quartet of kittens I once had on the farm... Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter (don't blame me... my Mother named them.) You might know the one specific-gender named cat just had to be a girl? LOL Peter was the proud mama of the next generation the next spring. *G*
Sounds like you need to find you a good vet with reasonable prices. *G* This is delightful!

I'm afraid LittleLady wouldn't like it if I took one. She gets jealous. She can't have kittens and sees no reason why anyone else should. I enjoyed your poem.

Tim,

Great poem.  I had the same problem, I thought my kitty was a girl, but then took her to the vet and found out otherwise.  So from then on Cloey became Clovis.
