Cat Petting

Arching
As I touch, her
Warm fur soothing my hand;
Do I pet my cat, or does she
Pet me?

Both. *S* I've often wondered which of us gets more out of the association... only to decide it's a purrfect partnership. *S*

Enjoyed! *S*

I like this...a cinquain? it reads like one, syllables and format.

and I've wondered the exact same thing. I guess we pet each other.

Yep, it's cinquain month at the Workshop!

Purring,
Soaking it up,
My cat warms the whole room.
I mean, she warms it even while
Sleeping.

cats...mine like to crawl up in my lap and rub on my chin... which is ok...until they decide to bite it.

Liked the poem...

I'd have to say the pleasure is probably equally distributed, unless of course you are allergic to cat hair, minor bites and scratches.
Enjoyed the read.


WHY on earth would a ratleader cuddle up with a cat?????Did fur fly?

Cuddle
Your cat often;
Make a fetish of it.
Cats are more loving, and cheaper
Than sheep.

Nice thought--
Naughty and Nice!
Ratleader's still laughing
Because his verse was SO naughty
And nice.

Shepherding her fine flock
Always protective of her sheep

My cat insists on being petted by rubbing against me until I have no choice.  Thought of inventing a hand for cat patting...want to work on that?

Rub, rub.
Rub, purr, meow!
Muzzle nuzzle, lick, scritch,
Nose-rubs, side-rubs, even tail rubs:
Cat pets!

Cat talk
The easy words,
Easy smiles, remind me:
My cat now stalks her mice among
The stars.
