Remember the cat
snuggled like a fur blanket
warm against cold feet.

When the first white slush splatters,
smile and-remember the cat.

I wish my cats would snuggle my feet!  Mine hog my pillow and leave me just the corner.  Neat write.

Pilgrimage - I remember my cat well, snuggled at my feet and kept them warm on a cold winter's night...

Remembering the cat has gotten me through many a dreary day. Thanks for the smile and comfort.

I have six cats and only two feet. I'm in great shape for winter. Enjoyed this cute little poem.

I have eight cats and they could care less about warming my feet - or doing anything else but making my life as miserable as possible!!! Evil creatures!!


A dog accepts you as his master. A cat wants to see your resume...believe it!

Remembering the cat but don't recall the snuggling by the feet.  It was more of a pounce on the face to wake me up and feed her.  Enjoyed the read much however.

Great write for cat fans, I am one also.

Zelda knows that my feet are always warm, so she won't waste her time there, but sometimes when she is in a generous mood she lets me lay my head on her bellyfur and listen to the deep peace inducing purr. Pure delight!

Enjoyed this!

Love,
Margherita

I have one very loving cat. She cuddles up against me. She doesn't like to be underneath the covers.

LOL at Balladeers reply. Balladeer, they aren't evil little creatures at all.

Nan, what a charming little poem!

I swear that my little Angel is psychic! She lies on whatever part of my body may be in need of a healing ~ or a warming ~ like my tootsies on a cold winter's night!
Might I add that when my sinuses are acting up, she 'nose' that too and literally tries to sit on my face when I am lying down (obviously! lol) ! Seriously! I'm not kidding! 'angel's honour! lol

Love & Feline Light
Linda

It's fun to hear everyone's feline tales.
