Mizz Kitty, golden sphinx poised across my lap. You purr upon your world more than contented. The sheen of your just brushed honey colored coat, matches the shine in your half-closed gold-green eyes. You look as if remembering the strokes of the brush at the base of your tail, making it stick straight up and curl down like a hook. Or perhaps you were recalling brush bristles scratching the inside of your itching ears. You twisting your head upside down trying to get the brush deeper. Then there were those long strokes, up your back against the grain. You arching your back legs and bowing your head. Or still yet, the special attention given to that place around your neck where your collar lays. You may lay here contented now my golden sphinx, but mere minutes ago you were dancing. You leaped into my lap with claws extended and began to knead my leg. Too excited for two feet to contain, your back legs join in the jig and I become a pincushion. “Pet me now!” and “Scratch my ears!” I can almost hear you say. Your toe nails have trained me well and I grab the brush with haste. Only the brush will do to touch you this shedding time of year. Your creamy undercoat is on the fly and only a brush can contain it. So here we sit, the Sphinx and I contented. We’ll doze awhile then something will disturb us. But later that day I’ll be back and Mizz Kitty will come and dance. [This message has been edited by Lori Grosser Rhoden (04-30-2017 09:39 AM).] |

That part about when she gets so excited when you are brushing near her tail reminds me of Zoe. When I get to brushing down there with the brush she lifts her head skyward and lets out with a mournful, but happy wail. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

For much of your fine poetry Lori Rhoden, there were visions of other experiences known to some in 'cat houses'. But since "Mizz Kitty", the "golden sphinx" is in your house, it seems clear to me that you are each others pet...and well cared for at that. ![]() Pass the Glade if you're going to do that here... |

Yes we are, PU. Mizz Kitty sends her regards, a snooze in the dog's bed. ~L |
