She's gone, but I remember how
She'd say "I'm done you can clean up now."
Not in words of course but with swish of tail,
And I'd obey her without fail.

Since I have reached  that stage of life,
I'm no longer caretaker or a wife,
I should be indulged as was my cat,
As irresponsible as that.

I would dine upon the finest fare,
Use lots of dishes, I wouldn't care/
Like kitty, I'd be a real hi-brow,
Say, "I'm fiished you may clean up now".

But of course! Aren't we all servants to our cats?

Thousands of years ago, Egyptians considered cats gods. The cats have never forgotten it.

The difference between a dog and a cat is that a dog accepts you as his master and a cat wants to see your resume!

Adorable poem, Joyce!

I'll have me some of that filet mignon too, Karilea!  

Hilarious, Michael!

Wonderful to read this Joyce.
Very well done. Obviously much
wisdom here also.

Very cute and true, I have two and they're just as you've described. Last night mine kept screaming at me and then whacking me for no apparent reason.


Thanks for sharing and God bless,

-Bob
