Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

0 posted 2011-05-27 02:51 AM


You touch my leg
Precisely, you pierce
tender skin

I see possessive innocence
in your staring gaze
as I brush you (gently) aside

Innocence be damned
I whisper
We both know

The pain you cause
brings a smirk
to your face

and a raspy chuckle
(like witch-doctor bones)
in your chest

Damn cat, I love you
You read my lips
and settle against me

forever smug

Cats are like this...mine no exception. She lays on her back for me to pet her, but when I rub her belly, she kicks me with her back feet..popeye might say "cats is fickle"

I enjoyed reading this.

Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.

love this Alison. They have a way of not taking no for an answer.  Mine hooks one claw in your hand and pulls it to her to scratch her ears. She is so friendly she'll hook anybody that lets her in their lap. I love the way you described the vocalization, they are all so unique.

Wonderful presentation my friend ... felt I was right there - but, being no where near a lover of cats, I would have bounced it off the farthest wall (LOL).... Still, a cute write is a cute write no matter what the subject.

much liked...

Oh, Kazzy-Waz (sorry, if that is infradig for you, but you are so cute and beautiful and cuddly, that I couldn't help it).  My Cleo-cat and Benji-dog and I love the poem your Mommy wrote and the two of you posted here on Pip.  

I think that what Mommy thought was a smirk, was really an expression of empathetic pain for Mommy because your claw got caught in Mommy's leg.  

Meeow, meeow from Cleo and Woof woof from Benji and love and cuddles from me and love to Mommy from all 3 of us - and give our love too, to Stuart, Abby, Kally, Mariah, Boodha and Rowdy.  

Kaz, please tell Rowdy that I hope he is completely better now.

I read it aloud to Zelda and she knows perfectly well what you and Kaz are talking about .

Holes in our clothes and scratches on our skin are the price we pay for being so privileged to have her loving attention (reciprocal of course).

I love your duet, dear Alison and dear Kaz, it diffuses a tune I love to hear.

Love,

Saw my neighbor's cat today ... in her own yard, and she gave me such a smug look I swear I saw her tongue sticking out...


I threw a pecan at her - HA!

She ignored it.

Hi ice,

Thank you for reading.  You (and Popeye) are right.  Cats isfickle.  Kaz sends the message that he is cute AND fickle.

Again, thank you.

Oh, my goodness, Kazzy-Waz.  Please tell the composting worms in the garage that I am sooooooo sorry.  Please tell them that I send them lots and lots of love extra love above and beyond the love below (so that you all get the same amount)!

Love and hugs and higs to Mommy and love and cuddles to the rest of you (but VERY gentle cuddles to the composting worms so as not to squish any of them in the process)

Jaime and Bruce,

Thank you for reading, enjoying and taking the time to let me know that you were here.

Big Fat Boodha sends his hello's to you both - and says to pass on that Kaz is really a wimp!  

He sends purrs and fur balls to Diana too.

Thank you Boodha darling for the purrs and fur balls.  I know that you don't really think that Kaz is a wimp.  You are just a little shy to show your emotions and to say that you really love and adore Kaz with all of your heart, so you felt you had to say that.  Kaz understands that too and loves and adores you too.

Purrs and woofs to you all and hugs to your Mommy

Deer Booder-sweetheart, thank you for your lovely letter to me.  I, too, love mices (egg sept I don’t eat them – though wols are supposed to – I would talk to them if I met any) and I love Rowdy too – and Tigger and Eeyore – and Kaz – and, of course, you – and all Mommy’s fur-family – and your Mommy too, of course.  Kaz doesn’t stink – truly!  If you are nice to Kaz, you will find that he will be nice to you too.  Try, sweetie-pie – you will see.

Lots of love and purrs and woofs and hugs to you and Mommy and her whole fur-family (including Kaz)

Your adoring Wol

From Boodha to "Wol"

----

Deer Woly1

You like mices too?  I like 'em crunchy with bananas.  I like birds too but my Mom don't let me eat on them.  She don't let us cats outside.  Kaz sneeks out on fast feet and Mom cries.  I hope he stays gone.  I likes Rowdy, Stuart, Abby and sumtimes I like Kally and Mariah (cause Mom says that I has to).  I don't like Kaz.  He stinks and he tells tails.  If he wants out, I open the door (when Mom is gone).

You sure talk alot, Wol.

Zelda speaking:

Ave, cat friends from Alaska and Africa, you crack me up you know!    It's fun to hear your discussions, though it costs me a little effort to follow you, because you know we Roman cats as a second language after cat mother tongue we had to learn Latin, that was necessary to communicate with all the ghosts in the Roman ruins, which come out every night ... I had to learn hissing too of course to frighten them off. You eat bananas? Yikes! Fruit is not my kind of dish, I eat fish ... in the ruins there were mice of course, you have no idea, big mice, RATS actually. Had to hiss at them too and then run ... good that Sarah took me home with her ten years ago. No more ghosts and rats, but not even other cats. That's sad isn't it. But mommy hugs me often. It was nice to chat with you ...
Vale!

Okay, Boodha has composed responses to all of his fans.  Here goes ...

----

Deer Wol,

I thought Wols were wise.  Goes to show that Booders are not always write!  Not onlys does you talk a lot, but yous is not very smart.  It's okay, Wol.  There's a place on earth for not smart peoples like you.  Now, you don't get it, does you.  Kaz is not my frend and he is a mean brother.  AND he needs to go live with you.  I am packing his bag and opening the door when Mom goes to work tomorrow.  He'll bring crunchy mices with him.

Love,
Booder

PS - Mom says not to be rude to Wol and that Wol is smart.  Mom says to say I am sorry.  Soorrry, Wol!



That aint no batman - that is CATman!

Booder

Deer Zelda,

Asl, please and send a pic.

Loves,
Booder

PS - Mom made me come back and say more.  Sooo, does you like meeses in your pasta?  Whatcha look like?  Wanna cam?  Ciao (see I knows Italian too).

-

Dear (okays, Booder puked) Tiny & Aiko,

Who lets the dogs in?  Them dogs are just too religious for me.  Maybees your names are Zealot and Preacher.  I don't know nothin' bout no debil stuff and thinks you means "devil".  Who knows.  You is dogs!

Go away now.  Shoo!

Ciao! Pasta? No, neither with nor without meeses ... made it clear the first time I tasted it that my stomach didn't tolerate it.
A picture ... well they have hundreds of them and I don't understand all the fuss, but here I will throw in one for you.

Booder, sweetheart, you are just cross with me because I call you sweetheart and similar names - I am sorry about that, but you are such a magnificently handsome cat (see I didn't say "kitty-boo" which is what I wanted to say!), that I can't help it.  I forgive you for being rude to me and saying I am not smart - you are so precious (sorry couldn't help that) that I would forgive you anything.  Please don't pack Kaz's bag.  It would break his (and Mom's) heart if he were to leave and South Africa is such a looooooong way from Alaska, it would be a dangerous journey for Kazzy-Waz.

Lot of love

Deer Zelda,

It's okay if you don't like meeses.  I do and I can eat 'em for you.  I likes to eat lots.  That's why my name is "Big Fat Boodha" - that's too long so I just says "Booder".

Anyways, you is very pritty.  I have toys that looks likes yours.  Did you take mine?

Woly1,

I am cross cause youse is not very bright.  Maybes you needs more sun in South Africa.  Maybes.  When I send Kaz, he can bring some to you.  You is very sweet and very smiley and a bit delusional.  Mom says to take that out, but I don't have a thumb so I can't.

I am giving you a picture of Kaz so you can picks him up at the aiport or off the boat or outta a train.  I don't care how he gets there as long as he gets gone.

ROFL... I am not... repeat... NOT!!! letting Kate read this!!! LOL She already thinks she can type better than I can on the computer... and so what if it makes Ma grumble because paw-typing crashes the silly old computer... Ma should have been paying attention to KATE! LOL She'd never forgive me if she found out that SOME creatures-with-thumbs-put-on-earth-to-serve-their-cats actually posted poems written with their furry masters! And both Kate and Colin would wonder why I'm too stupid to post THEIR pics... I simply can't handle the abuse! LOL

But I sure did enjoy the collaboration... and the resulting conversations! *S*
