I can’t ask you

I turned to you to ask you a question. But you were not there. You cannot come back.

You were so knowledgeable, I could mention something and you knew the way my mind was working. You would ask me and be surprised by what I knew. We agreed that I had picked up a lot of knowledge from you. I recognise trains and tractors because of you. I could ask you about chemistry and physics. We would laugh and compete to answer TV quiz questions. Sometimes I would beat you, other times you would beat me. Most often it was a draw.

Thinking of you now I see a hole in the air where you were. A space unfilled by your spirit. You have gone ahead, like going to bed, and I don’t want to follow yet? My bonds are here on earth, close tied to friends and family. Don’t let me loose those bonds yet. I have obligations, how could I let the cats down? My family down. Please look over me and keep me safe in your heart as I hold you in mine.

Thoughts late at night.

Keeping warm

Posted on December 5, 2023December 5, 2023 Posted in Cat, UncategorizedTagged Black and white cat, Caring, Cat, companions, Cuddly, Sleeping, Tail, Tuxedo cat, Warm5 Comments

Find a warm spot and curl up. You can put your nose under your tail and snuggle down. Cats are lucky to have tails. Making them cuddly and comfy.

Apart from sleeping for hours a day? They are funny and playful. They are intelligent and charming. They are sometimes naughty too! Being a cat in a house can be a pleasure, but some people are cruel and unkind. Cats like all pets need treating with love care and attention. They will love you if you do. They are, awesome companions if you get the right ones.

On our bed

You lie on the bed, quite sweet

But you take up half the space

And though you look so neat

I still can’t find a place

To put my feet!

Cat painting with gold leaf

This popped up on my Facebook memories today. My little cat, simple painting, but with gold leaf. I used it a few times because my friend had given me a book of gold leaf. I know I found it hard to manipulate. I did enjoy using it though.

Look who’s on the bed

A night visitor, all prowl worn out, purring gently, wants love. Left me no room while I was out. Now do I move him or let him stay? Gentle purring makes that decision easy.

Brothers?

You’d think they were brothers

A single mom?

But no, they are not

Two mums, not one.

Each boy cat is happy

One is fat

He’s big and he’s round

He stays on the mat,

The other is older

On a bag, flat!

My other cats female,

Much more aloof

She’d rather be sitting

Up on the roof!

Companionship

What is good about having a pet?

They keep you company

They keep you calm,

They are funny,

Hilarious, sometimes

Worrying at others.

They are not critical,

They need you,

Food, water, shelter

Give them a space

In your heart.

Flopped

Posted on November 10, 2023 Posted in Cat, UncategorizedTagged Black and white cat, Cat, Curled, nine lives, Poem, Poetry, Sleeping, Tired, Tuxedo cat, whirled4 Comments

When it comes to relaxed

Cats do it best

They can flop in a heap

Sleep in a ball.

Find a new box

And make it home!

Twisted and turned

Twizzled and whorled and whirled,

See how they sleep

Not always neat

But really deep!

Have I bored you?

Posted on November 8, 2023 Posted in Cat, UncategorizedTagged Black and white cat, Boring, Cats, Life, nerd, Questions, Science, Thoughts, Time, topics, Tuxedo cat, what do you want?7 Comments

How do I get readers attention?

Should I write:

Poems, stories about cats, short stories, art, life, Sci fi, a mixture? I try and keep up with the times, but am I boring you? I need to be self critical and also intelligible. Are my posts interesting? I try and be polite, considerate, thoughtful, but I’m probably too old fashioned.

I can’t talk about pop music, and I love science. I try and think things through. I think I must be a nerd

So far this post has been about me (I), but really, what about you?

Have you any suggestions, and ideas, are you interested in knitting or quantum physics? I can’t promise to be able to write about either, but I’m willing to try!

Cat asleep

He’s on the edge of the settee and looks like he might slide off! Fast asleep, taking up all the space. I’d like to sit there but I’ve been ousted from the space by this cat! I went to make a coffee and he snuck up. I have a seat on an armchair. And as if on cue, my girl cat just came up and tried to sharpen her claws on my leg. She’s taken over my footstool. Cats rule in this house!
