Fervent Pleas he begs for my attention tugs at my hands should they grow idle or give their attention elsewhere longing for caresses continually he pleads should I grant him his pleasure of a stroke or three, it’s not enough, he begs more from me. looking up at me pleading with his deep yellow eyes, rubbing his head upon the computer desk, attempting to appease his need for attention for my touches. I relent, pulling him onto my lap stroking his back with tandem hands his purrs rumble thanksgiving. on his high perch he looks about, rubs my chin bumps it, too. resting on his haunches, at peace, he snuggles and clings with his eight extended nails, purring solitude ©January 28, 2003 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

They DO decide when it's time to pay attention to them, don't they?... This is a perfect portrayal, VAS... You've captured him perfectly... ![]() |
