do felines
dream
of
oceans of
milk
or
seas of
fish?

a run
through
fields
of
catnip
and
windows
with warm
sunbeams?

balls of
yarn
with forests
of
scratching
posts?

or does
their
dream
come true
when they
wake up
on
your
lap?

(giggles in delight) Awwwwwww, I love kittys so so much, they always make me happy when I just see one and they are scampering with their ball of yarn! (smiles) This is absolutely beautiful, sweet friend, your words are always a pleasure to read, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Hummmm...well from what I have observed, looks to me like they are having a grand time whatever they are dreaming of! Though I did catch him trying to "catch" something once. *S* A nice light-hearted poem Sven!

heh.
my cat just stood up here and looked at this and said something that sounded sorta along the lines of "yowmrrrrreowwwwwwwwwllllowwwww."
i don't know if that means she liked it or not; she's weird, and omnicidal.
but i liked it.

Love this one Sven.  For sure they dream...of chasing butterlies in the garden, but they're always just out of reach.  Hugs.

Well, since I am owned by 3 cats, I would say they dream about what trouble they can get into next

Sven,

My big tomcat once told me
That he
dreamed of chasing the
little poodle next door.

I love it, Sven Pen. Sorry I haven't gotten to reply to your work lately. I've been reading though.

This is just soft and adorable. Probably like your heart.(which is the greatest ingredient in your writing)

**looks around for the "flirt" officer**

They'll never catch ME!  

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.
