Looking After You.

I deliver the meal that was carefully
timed to coincide with your arrival.
You sit in your favorite armchair,
its cushions plumped to perfection
and settle, thoroughly exhausted,
from your nighly roaming.
I watch as home comfort gently
soaks into your soul
and I smile and tell you
that I love you.
I gently stroke your brow
as you drift into sleep.
Even knowing that come darkness,
you will again be overcome
by your instinctive urge to wander.
Unable to resist.
Yet regardless of your independence.
I will forever continue to feed, nurture
and care for you.
Because with cats,
thats just the way it is.

by Ven.

You had me hook, line, and sinker!  
Well done!

So cute, so true. We are only put on earth here to serve our cats. (at least that's what mine tells me, and hey, I believe her!!)

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

I'd rather have a dog any day, but I appreciate the selfless sentiment and the vividly unpredicted punchline.

Wow. You can really write them...
meow! meow! meow!
If I come back as a cat,
I want to hang out at your place!
