For All The Divas Of The Canteen


Purr~ceptions





A lot of Humans think I'm a Kitten, but I am so much more
When it comes to those Big Ones that I have never seen before
To think that we Kittens are selected is an Old Wives' Tale unsound

Especially when the whole process is the other way around
You may think it odd, but in the time it takes these Green/Gold eyes to glance
A decision is made that is rarely left to chance

As to whom time should be spent both peaceful and frantic
For a Kitten cannot grow up to be a Cat without some Feline antics
Your lap will be mine and your Curtains I may climb and score

And make my personal Special Place a well traveled piece of floor
Then curl up and watch protectively while you dream and snore
When not napping or exploring, I'll always be close by

Should you wish to celebrate, or are feeling bad and need a cry
For we are very sensitive to Human feelings, though we don't know why?
Some seem to think it's our Whiskers, while others believe it's in our Eyes

They all merge together to help us make decisions instant and wise
Through good times and sad times and other times in between
Aloof and self sufficient, yet always a part of the Family scene

Thanks, Jack, for Purr-ceptions. And Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you got enough to eat. Were all your jets ok in the storms?

Jack..I will have a kitty once more, Silky is staying here!
..My daughter and SIL brought six of the kitties for Thanksgiving at my house. ..Silky and the 5 now grown kittens..I am getting the "surrogate" mom, Silky. She is the once starving stray we took in while I was staying at my daughter's..
The cats are having a great time..and so am I..They are loving bird and squirrel watching and playing "chase" .The two older cats delayed my SIL and daughter's getting Thanksgiving dinner..The oldest ones would not cooperate ..so they finally gave up and left them clean litter boxes and lots of food and water.
