If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Sheesh, she is bored being alone all the time, now what she needs is company- another cat!

Some plants are poisonous (I am sure you know this).

Does she have some catnip mice to bat around??

How about a leash to take her for a walk?? This will calm her down a bit I would think. If she is giving you raspberries she is telling you she wants some company!
I would guess she is still pretty young then, full of vim she needs to burn it off somehow.

Good Morning!
I have a large plastic “donut” ring with a ball in the ring that Silky plays with..Some kitties love the toys that hang on the door with a toy suspended that they can bat around. My daughter’s kitties( much younger) can destroy one in no time..LOL I have never tried the leash bit with a cat..I know she yearns to get outside at times.

I am here most all the time ..but she sometimes ignores me if I have been gone for hours
.I hate to do vacuum cleaning so I would use”I’ll scare the cat” to delay doing it..Then I discovered Silky isn't afraid of the vacuum like most cats are....no excuse!

According to the Vet she is about 6 years old. I have tried her on a leash but she rebels.

Hmmmmm, maybe a dog would keep her on her toes. Just kidding.

[NY Attitude]

The suspended toy thing sounds like a good idea. I also may try catnip.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL My cat was scared to death of the vacuum cleaner, and he hated little kids. He would hide for hours when kids were around and come out only after they left; then he would chirp a bit to me.
He loved catnip, I used to get fresh nip for him, a woman around the corner grew it in her garden for her cats, I would grab a few hands fulls when passing by.
Catnip is a drug for kitties, they get real drowsy when they have been in the nip. They like to roll in it too, maybe it wards off fleas and such.

Those hanging toys you mentioned are great, most cats love to bat things about.

[Soaring Feather]

I also may try catnip.
Yes, by all means, she can take a trip and not leave the farm. ROTFLOL

[NY Attitude]

I wasn’t talking about Calli, I was talking about me. LOL.

[NY Attitude]

I do think that I will get catnip for Calli. Maybe she will calm down.

[Soaring Feather]

I wasn’t talking about Calli, I was talking about me. LOL.

Sweet Summer's Dance

A dance upon the woodland green, moon spinning with delight. Wind aglow with moonbeam's ray spreads far into eboned night. Twirling ~ is sweet summer's dance beneath the yearning moon. Smiling down upon the face of memory's rendered tune. Stepping quickly ~ two- step now, a waltzing hillside breeze across the greening meadow ~ dancing softly through the trees. Smiling moon ~ now breathes its sigh upon sweet summer's dance. Alive and luring ~ summer sweet ~ attracting moon's long glance. 'Round and 'round with rhythmic beat, afire ~ with earthly charm, summer blossoms with each step beneath the moonbeams warm. ~~**~~**~~ Alas ~ Dark sky, On horizon it falls. Moon cries, as night ends much too soon. Summer's dance now sends its sweet kiss. ~ Hypnotizing the man in the moon. ~ Hazelmarie Elliott

I have tried her on a leash but she rebels.

Give her the nip then slip on the harness. She'll come along purring like a kitten. ;0)

[Soaring Feather]

Oh my gosh, this is fabulous both poem and graphic. I love it.

[Lady Jag]
