A Cat Is Not A Mouse Poem by Doris Cornago

A Cat Is Not A Mouse

Rating: 5.0


Someone asked me am I a dog person
As he digs a dog who jumps and licks
Frisky happy, gets on his lap muddy
But for me, I like my cat nonchalant
Haughty, dignified, sets his pace
Give him loving and embrace
Will never leave your side
Except take mice aside
Stare at the crowd
With a distant
Look, sit
Still
Be
Invisible
Write poems
Sort out thoughts
Choose delectables
Just be contented with
Developing his cat skills
Won't go for drills like a dog
Maybe learn some new tricks
Like pretending to do a bird call
To catch one for his trophy room
A cat is a cat is a cat, he's no mouse

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I like someone definitive. He's not talkative although at times, he can be an erupting volcano when you poke him hard enough. But don't be a nagger or you'll get him packing. Likely, he will be a cat in his habits, rather than a dog. Read here the distinction of having a cat, not a dog, for a companion.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Doris Cornago 20 July 2017

They say that the person you are with imbibes your habit, and you also imbibe his. Whenever he starts speaking about something, I finish it for him and that amazes him and gushes that I'm smart. I am that but also, very observant, the exact word is fixated on the pet that I want, not a derogatory term, but an implication of lifetime devotion and loyalty between two persons. In real life, owners of dogs/cats soon resemble their pets or vice-versa. The same attachment is at work here. I think they call it imprinting.
