*pounce*  as again he wraps his tiny form around my bare skinned ankle claws in, teeth bared as he fights some imaginary life threatening beast that has somehow invaded my skin rolling around my feet miaowing furiously he stops and looks up up up to see the laughter in my eyes then he moves.... twitching and snaking bobbing and weaving side-walking across the floor warning me in a mincing stride that he mighty charcoal cat of approximately 8 weeks of age is High Ruler and Lord of all he surveys and be it leg ankle or sleeping toes they all belong to him oh charcoal kitten what next have you in mind to conquer now? you have my heart (and my ankle) what more is there to overcome!?

Smiling all the read X Angel!  Me thinks next will be ... 1) your roll of yarn, 2) your best sweater, 3) your new pillow tassles, 4) ....  Very much enjoyed the happy read from one furry friend lover to another!  Best wishes, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 06-23-2000).] |

Geez..It looks like in one of my absences, I missed a really good poem about my favorite animal. This was really wonderful. No matter how hard I try myself, I still have yet to capture the beauty and mystery of such wonderful animals. One day maybe....I'm glad I found this. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Psst...hey...you...blackie...yeah...commere. Yeah, I can sees youse got some dominion here and stuff...but dere's so much more out dere. Like paper bags in the kitchen, and drapes and curtains...yanno, you can catch some righteous air off a curtain...as long as it ain't double-knit and stuff. And den dere's da sofas and scaling 2-leggers' legs whiles dey's eatin or tryin to walk. And da best part is slowly sneakin up on dem whilst dey's a-sleepin...wit chur tail a swayin as ya ready to POUNCE upon dere sleepin heads...WOOHOO....just be fleet of foot, blackie, or your reign mights be short-livered. *Slinks back into the shadows of a garbage can in da Alley* Alicat, the Persnikitty |
