Kitty Ditty.


 Were I a cat, I would not chase a rat. I may call a mouse a louse, but I'd leave it in the house. I'd find myself a chair, I would not share. I'd lay my body down and never have a care.

So relaxing. I did a lot more sleeping when I had cats.

This guy is either all on or all off!

Ours agrees

To be able to Relax or Sleep like a Cat is a little bit of Heaven don't you think?

Sandra said...

I know they would!

Sandra said...

I do. To be an inside cat is to have it all.

I do like an ginger cat.

And he has no cares precisely because you care for him, prince that he is...

Do you recall Morris the Cat? Some day I can tell you a story about that cat and how he came to be.
I love this, so light and wonderful!

Sandra said...

They are unusual, Dora.

Sandra said...

He did decide he was to live here, e.

Sandra said...

I do remember Morris. And now I must know the story. Please do tell!

WOW! One of the most iconic characters during our time. A friends dad was VP of advertising with Pillsbury. She said he was involved in creating the Doughboy. No wonder you are so creative.

Val Ewing said...

Thus the names of my pets. Morris's registered name was Morris the Cat, and Charlie ... well, we always wanted to say 'Sorry Charlie' around the house and now we can.
Yes, Dad was a very creative person.
He encouraged imagination with us kids.

You have an interesting life.
