I am trying to sleep but silence is creeping around the house, filling up the corners of the rooms while trying to be inconspicuous. My cat jumps on the bed, I pet him, and he starts to purr. Silence disappears. My furry little champion has driven him away. Ida Werrett [This message has been edited by Marchmadness (08-26-2008 01:36 PM).] |

Ida, I love my animal friends chase that silent time away -- unless I am sleeping in silent bliss and someone wants to be fed now!!! A |

This is a pure delight, dear Ida! Our pets, and I think especially cats, can bring real tranquility (if silence holds also a certain uneasiness, which I perceive sometimes) and warmth with their purrs. But as Alison says, my usually sweet Zelda too can be quite fastidious when she jumps on the bed before waking time and she always wants to play with my feet under the sheets starting to bite them, ouch!! I think a pet is a must when we live alone.  Love, Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Ida, I am not a cat lover, although neither do I dislike them. I just do not care as much as others about them. But I loved this poem and understand the feelings you send. "late" |

Ida It is wonderful to have a friend to break the silence and keep our hearts warm, we have dogs and cats here, never an empty place. Enjoyed the read Ida. Rick |

Strange, isn't it, that we never understand the sound of silence until we experience it. A good atmospheric poem |

Ida, you said it purr-fectly! My little cat Angel, does the same for me!  Love from me and my feline companion to you and yours!  Linda & Angel |

Yo dear Ida, This works very well, and I like it. I love cats, and I'd have one, but my dog Hilda has put her paw down. No cat! Love Bobby |
