The Cat Is Free
The cat is free;
No tether he
Will wear in circumspect.
Ah but the eyes
And jealous cries
We hold in dire respect.
Disdains the call,
A prison wall
Will never him attract.
Yet he betrays
His freedom's ways
For one kind word and pat.
What wonderful language. Our two cats love to be petted but entirely on their schedule. As they say, 'Dogs have masters, cats have staff.'
I relate to this gem - a dog is man's best friend, cats tolerate us in the nicest way.
Like the cat with her ball of wool I too am blissfully entertained by this cute construction.
so true.. one pat and they are yours for life depending on the cat though some hold onto their wild ways and bring you 'gifts' and one of mine an outside cat or she is supposed to be never wanders far and doesn't like affection that much and like human a bit contrary one will lay and let you fuss all day the other..bite you just by going near haha they are adorable though so you forgive them
adeline, a kind word and a pat has sometimes worked with my wife as well. i'm not really a cat lover as you seemed to think after reading my big fat cat without a hat. of course i wouldn't kick a cat down the stairs; it might retaliate! thanks for sharing. bri
