the cat climbs up
to the chair
a foreleg
nudges me
as i eat
it wishes to
share my food
bit by bit
i throw
left over of
fried prawns
squids....
and it quietly eats
and keeps
nudging me
when it wants more
like a friend
A poems of vivid description...I can visualize your friend and his antics. I also have a cat that nudges to get a dinner treat. An enjoyable poem.
John, your humanity shines through as you depict the trust between human and animal. Great moment in time.
Is that your cat you are writting about? Cause I really love to see that cat of yours....so sweet indeed.
It is an honor to receive such nudgings from a creature, of whom some cultures regard as royalty... a cat can refuse offerings of food if he deems you untrustworthy or a stranger, even if he is hungry. So a cat has blessed you first with his presence, and then with allowing you to feed him... a fine human you are indeed! Thank you for loving a cat... Hugs, Lee
