Felis Catus
is your taxonomic nomenclature
An endothermic quadruped
carniverous by nature
Your visual, olfactory,
and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills
and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued
by your sub-vocal oscillations
A singular development
of cat communications
That obviates your
basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur
to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential
for your acrobatic talents
You would not be so agile
if you lacked its counterbalance
And when not being utilized
to aid in locomotion
It often serves to illustrate
the state of your emotion
Oh Spot,
e complex levels of behavior you display
Denote a fairly well developed cognitive array
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

Maggie likes blankets. I think I count at least 6 of them. My wife just keeps buying new ones for her. I'm like, 'Enough!!!' It just keeps adding to the laundry we have to do.

And I had to get/wake her up from this, to take her to daycare, at 9am. She was pissed at me!

Both my dogs like blankets. Frankie, the older one, learned how to cover herself and drags them around and uses them like a person lol

Dude keep that crap in CVON where....oh....napper.

Thanks.  Not the first time we've lost one, and it never gets any easier.

Nope......we have been there a few times as well. It just eats me up when it happens to anyone that provided a loving home and life to them.

I think part of My reasoning for not having a dog over the last 25 years was because I didn't want to lose them.

I can definitely understand that.  You know one day they'll break your heart.

What I hope for....
