Feral Cats (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The cats know
There are places
They will not go
It’s feline grace
To so completely
Know their space
The cats sense
All the losses and
The expense
If you call upon
Their sweetest care
They are long gone
The cats are
Not what they seem
They’re a dark star
Call them any name
They’ll ignore you
Just the very same
The cats know
There are places
They will not go
If you go there
They’d not tell you that
You should beware
If you go there
And you’re lost to all
They will not care

Definitely has the feel of a nursery rhyme.
Thanks, it was meant to – the rhyme is probably not consistent enough to totally work as that form, but it was just a fun concept to write so I went with it anyway. 🙂
Lovely Helen I think you have captured cats very well.
Yes, cats are interesting. I had a friend who had this great coffee mug that read: “cats know how you feel…..they don’t care, but they know…” LOL! 🙂
I’d believe that Helen.
Lol. 🙂
Oh Sis, I missed your writing while gone!! Big hugs!
Thanks Skye – hope you had a wonderful holiday!! 🙂 🙂
Something to mull on… Interesting portrayal of cats. 🙂
Thank you!! 🙂
Cats are not ‘just animals’, they are ‘Cat People’.
Hmmm..could well be true!! 🙂
If I want my cat to come, I have to pretend to ignore her. 🙂
Lol, reverse psychology for the cat kingdom, I love it!! 🙂
They are in a world of their own, sorry to say I prefer dogs, but you captured them well Helen.
I actually prefer dogs too! 🙂
I love that picture Helen and you’ve really captured the feline mystique. I agree with the nursery rhyme. I have always had strange cats, cats that are not really cat-like. I had a cat named Garfield he had such a beautiful soul when I first got him we’d watch cartoons together I remember I spilled a glass of water on him he looked at me funny but forgave me right away.
Lol, how cute!! 🙂
He was adorable and obviously he was fat and orange well he didn’t start out fat but the name won him over I guess lol
