“The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat” Jules Renard

Caturday Poem

I am a tiger cat
Hear me roar!

My furry stripes
I am wearing proud
Sometimes picking a fight
‘Cause I like being loud

But when groomed and fed
And safely resting in bed
I am a cute little kitty
Without any hissy fitty

I am a soft kitty
Hear me purr

“In nine lifetimes, you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you”
Michel de Montaigne

Caturday Poem 

I still remember
That day in September
When a furry bundle of joy
Appeared at my door
And with a loud roar
Shouted: Ahoy!

Over thirty years ago
With four more in tow
With fullest of force
Changing the course
Of my entire life
Without much strife

A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx

Caturday Poem

When the black cat
Was crossing the street
She was chasing a rat
Trying to act discreet
Hiding behind a big hat
Awaiting her treat

The grounded bat
Knew he tasted sweet
Stood still on the mat
There was no time to greet
Only time, for combat

After a long while
Both standing still
Trying to act hostile
But without thrill
So instead of the usual
They decided in mutual

This tale’s end
Will the norm bend
Cat and mouse decided
To shake their paws delighted
The lesson of this tale?
Sometimes it’s good to fail
