CAT MUSIC
8 July 2003

My cat
loves
me to pour out
poetry
into dark corners
of long, liquid nights
and I am honoured
by his predilection.

That's one smart cat, lady Diana.
May all the animals you encounter appreciate your TLC. The people sure do!

There is mutual fascination between us and our cats, no doubt!

Love and hugs.

Linda and Kacy, I told Tigger what you said and both of us said thank you and one of us purred beautifully and the other one smiled.  Kacy, about the people appreciating my TLC, there are lots who don’t and a couple of those really matter, but here on the heavenly blue pages, if there are any who don’t, I don’t know about it.  Smiles.

Maureen, I know just how you feel.  I am sure that Flicka, my beloved horse who has been in Heaven for 8½ years now, and Sugar will have met up and are the best of friends, and I am sure that Sugar is sending you love and warmth from on high.

Yes, Margherita, you are so right, and isn’t it wonderful?

it seems sometimes cats perfectly understand writers, your poem proves it gracefully.

I have cats who appreciate poetry also. Diana. They love to be near me while I'm writing.

Mine think I couldn't write a word without them... and they may be right. LOL

Loved this! *S*

Tigger purrs because you poetically
describe life so well.

It's like a brush against skin.

Thanks, Yann.  Cats understand what everyone is saying, but they understand the hearts of writers, the most.

Ida, I am glad you have that comfort too.  

Ruth, as wonderful a poet as you are, your kitty cats bring out the best in you.

Thank you, Bobby.  I didn’t have to do much thinking for this one – it was just an outpouring of gratitude for the warmth and love I receive from my cat.

Thank you Karilea for your kind words.

Owl
