My Pampered Pet curves
round my legs,
tail raised,
while the Predator
stalks her food,
crouching low over the bowl.
Sated, the Sleepyhead curls
around and round
on my favorite chair,
and dreams.

I have one of these furry people doing the same thing next to me as I read you. You nailed it. great word choices.
ReplyDeleteI love dogs, but cats are just so very fascinating.
DeleteI love how you use such elegant words to desribe your kitty! ;)
ReplyDeleteFur friends rock. Love your descriptions. Very poetic. :-)
ReplyDeleteI knew it was a kitty when I read "around and round on my favorite chair" Ha! Love this.
ReplyDeleteI thought kitty when it curves around your legs. Dogs can't do that so perfectly. I'm a dog person. They're so much more straightforward, but I agree that cats are completely fascinating! This was a wonderful way to describe your much loved pet.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGood one.
ReplyDeleteOh I love how you describe the three different aspects of kitties so accurately and with charm. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThat's so great. I admire your ability with words - and also how it applies to so many different topics. Me, I just write about one thing ...
ReplyDeleteBut you write about Oz with such passion, fondness, and humor that you make it come alive, and that is a rare gift indeed!
