Who me, snoring? Never!

So I was minding my own cat business yesterday, napping on the couch (my favorite way to spend the afternoon)....I was dreaming of something pleasurable, perhaps chasing mice. Then, from far-off, I heard giggling, as if from a human female. I half-woke and opened one eye. Who should I see smiling at me and softly laughing: my mama, Kim. She petted me on the head and told me I was snoring! Can you believe it? I thought to myself, "She's crazy. I don't snore! I'm a very refined cat. I wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, only humans snore."

Then I drifted off to sleep again, only to be awoken moments later by a sort of rumbling, gurgling sound--it was I! Indeed, I was snoring!! I could hardly believe my own ears. But it's true: I snore, I do.

Kim giggled at me again and said she wants to capture me snoring on video. Apparently, she thinks this would be the funniest thing in the world. I would become a You Tube star, she claims.

Hmmm....Well, stardom is enticing.....

Now back to dreamland for this cat. Must catch up on all the sleep I'm missing by typing up this blog for you all.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz................

Mmmmmm...tuna is yummy!

I got to have a special treat today: albacore tuna fish!

I ran into the kitchen as soon as I smelled the tuna. I stared up at Kim so she would know I wanted some. She gave me a chunk of it in my dish. It was so good! I think she should give me tuna more often. I'm such a good kitty, I deserve it.

YUMMY!!!!

puuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Aaaah, the good life!

Summer is a beautiful time of year. I love to sit on the back balcony in the sunshine, with a light breeze on my fur, watching the birds and just chillin' out......

Life is good these days for a cat!

Cat - Emily Dickinson

Cat


She sights a Bird - she chuckles -
She flattens - then she crawls -
She runs without the look of feet -
Her eyes increase to Balls -

Her Jaws stir - twitching - hungry -
Her Teeth can hardly stand -
She leaps, but Robin leaped the first -
Ah, Pussy, of the Sand,

The Hopes so juicy ripening -
You almost bathed your Tongue -
When Bliss disclosed a hundred Toes -
And fled with every one -


Emily Dickinson

Happy Valentine's Day!

If you are lonesome today, just think of a soft, furry kitty cat. We love you!



Cats....


have eyes that yawn,
green
as a halt sign.

In morse-tail
language
they speak your mind,

loving you
to fur-deep
distraction.


Jim Howell



I'm Only a Cat

I'm only a cat,
and I stay in my place...
Up there on your chair,
on your bed or your face!

I'm only a cat,
and I don't finick much...
I'm happy with cream
and anchovies and such!

I'm only a cat,
and we'll get along fine...
As long as you know
I'm not yours... you're all mine!

Pussy

Pussy

I like little pussy, her coat is so warm;
And if I don't hurt her, she'll do me no harm.
So I'll not pull her tail, nor drive her away,
But pussy and I very gently will play.
She shall sit by my side, and I'll give her some food;
And she'' love me because I am gentle and good.

I' pat pretty pussy, and then she will purr;
And thus show her thanks for my kindness to her.
But I'll not pinch her ears, nor tread on her paw,
Lest I should provoke her to use her sharp claw.
I never will vex her, nor make her displeased --
For pussy don't like to be worried and teased.

I couldn't resist this one's title. And don't I like sexy in this pic? You know you want me, Miss Dixie!

why did you go... by ee cummings

why did you go...

why did you go
little fourpaws?
you forgot to shut
your big eyes.

where did you go?
like little kittens
are all the leaves
which open in the rain.

little kittens who
are called spring,
is what we stroke
maybe asleep?

do you know?or maybe did
something go away
ever so quietly
when we weren't looking.

ee cummings

The cat went here and there - Yeats

The cat went here and there
And the moon spun round like a top,
And the nearest kin of the moon,
The creeping cat, looked up.
Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,
For, wander and wail as he would,
The pure cold light in the sky
Troubled his animal blood.
Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?

William Butler Yeats
