I'm reading my book.
The story unfolds, and - "Mew!"
I'm petting my cat.
The movement is slight.
The cats watch with wiggling butts.
Ouch! Those are MY feet!
The plane overhead
Keeps circling around the house?
Sorry, just the cat.
Mighty jungle cat
Overcame her greatest foes.
I miss my tulips.
Run allover the house
Scare crap out of everyone
Sleep be good on paper
Pet me pet me now
Not too long or a hurt on your hand
I call them love bites
Wafting scent of meat
They eat buffet-style tonight
Watch me snatch . . . and run!
Giggling girl child plays
We chase the thing on the stick
Just to hear her laugh...
I cuddle up close
Touch my tiny nose to yours
Then I . . . Ah . . .Ah . . .SNEEZE!
You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.
You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.
You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.
The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.
In deep sleep hear sound
Cat vomit hairball somewhere
Will find in morning.
Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.
Blur of motion, then --
Silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?
The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds --
Your foot just squashed one.
My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
Can just hide my head.
Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a 'term paper'?
Kitty likes plastic
Confuses for litter box
Don't leave tarp around
Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner
I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?
Wanna go outside.
Oh, shit! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!
Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue!
Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams
My claws are not that sharp.
Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"
Litter box not here
You must have moved it again
I'll crap in the sink
The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
Time for "Cup Hockey"
We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?
