Jealous Cat
Soft and fluffy
Ball of fur
Curled up tight
Contented purr
His favourite place
Right on her lap
But Hey what's this?
A DATING APP!
Am I not the one
Who gives her Love?
Now all of a sudden
It isn't enough
Her eyes are glowing
As she scrolls
The screen
All these faces
I've never seen
I don't see men
Just a bunch of mice
If they come...

Ode to Percy…(a cats best friend)
Watching the leaves fall
Standing so tall
Waiting at the window
I still wonder
It wasn't so long ago
I can still see us
Haunting shadows in the dusk
Running, fighting, climbing
Making footprints in the snow
Your furry figure lingers at the edges of my mind
Gone but not forgotten
Your smile runs to hide
Sunny days fade away
As you...

the 5th kitten
4 little kittens went to see their mommy
anger, desperation, hope and beauty
the first one was to reach the light, but then appeared another cat in its way
she got so mad he was there, that she didn’t move at day
she thought I would rather stay here for a thousand years
than get a step closer for him to see my weak display of tears
then desperation reached anger’s cries
and t...

2 BLACK CATS
Dark night black four legged creature
Sparkling stars your eyes such feature
Elegantly ruthless hunter by nature
Sharp claws and teeth
Trusted structure
Ears they point to the sky
Triangles
Short straight hair
No tangles
Perfectionism to perfection
Grooming essential
Deep and moving thoughts
Undiscovered potential
You chose me
My...

Night Things
This smoke-filled evening eight faces nose
around trees and benches
Hunger outwitting fear quickly the seats
around the food dishes fill.
Dishes empty dusk darkens
the human disappears
The night again owned
by the night things and cats.

My Cat Daisy
My cat Daisy is the baddest cat around,
She'll attack you so quick without making a sound,
She'll turn you face into a scratching post,
Take a shit then lay on the remote,
You will just think it went missing,
Ask her and she'll pretend she's not listening,
And that's my cat Daisy,
She's fuckin' crazy,
Sick and twisted maybe,
Low key though she's a crybaby,
A...

shadow our cat
Shadow our cat
communicates with us
he realizes that we cannot
speak cat so he watches
our human behavior
and uses it to communicate
with my wife and me
if his food bowl
is empty he does not meow
he just goes and stands
by his bowl and stares at us
if he is ready for bed
he goes to the bottom
of the stairway and stares at us
until we join h...

You know that song by John Lennon whatver gets you thru the night well this small story tells of a good little creature that helps me get through these almost apocalyptic days and nights.

I'll never forget the day I got mi cat, they let her out the little carry box and she walked on my coffee table, then she wondered off so casual like an estate agent checking out my flat. Into every roo...

Black Cats are Brightest in Daylight
Calico cats are an epitome of beauty
A creole of colors and an unruly hooligan
Yet the world still thinks this is horribly gorgeous
Praised on paper but never in person
The world says it loves black cats, but believes in myths and curses
The biggest cats are only seen as claws and fur
Yet the women who can afford this apparel ignore the lost and feral
Common colors of house ca...

I Hate Cats!
I hate felines, I hate cats
They’re nasty, malicious little prats
They always land on their feet
They may look fluffy, cute and sweet
But they’ve needles for teeth and razors for claws
That they conceal inside their paws.
I hate their mewl, I hate their wail.
The cocky way they flick their tail.
The way they hiss, and arch their back
Before launching into a vicious ...

When Tibbles Had Nibbles
When Tibbles had Nibbles
There once was a mouse
We had in our house
Came over the fence
And I use the past tense
Advisedly
For I have a cat
Who’s getting quite fat
Less crotchet, more minim.
But still has it in him…
Literally.
He pussy foots around
Look what I found!
Fluff on his claws
Spaghetti in his jaws,
Dangling.
His fluffed ...

Arthur
Arthur
Its Jennifer's birthday,
Break out the champagne
Put up balloons and coloured paper chains
The child is on top of the world
so it seems
That was until Arthur,
Shattered her dreams
For those in the dark
At this moment in time
Let me introduce Arthur
On nasty feline
A moggy with menace
A cat with conviction
He'd scratch on the chairs
And leave hair...

Merle Gibson: Rose from the Dead
When Merle died it was a sorry affair.
After hating us all her life
she wanted to be close with us in the end.
Lol, who had always seen the good in her
brought her back to life briefly on the last day,
which had shown how much he meant to her I suppose.
But cats are only meant to last a certain amount of time-
less than what should be a life time,
more than some marr...

Day Twenty Eight
The prompt at NaPoWriMo today was to write a poem
that tells a story backwards, therefore, the first line should
say what happened last.
Here’s mine:
SHE HATED
Finally she pulled the trigger and walked away
She hated them all with a vengeance
The alley cats that rooted through trash cans like bin dogs
The fat cats ...

cats get in the way
Little men with little hats,
running with the bats.
over the hedge and under the fence,
dodging frustrated cats.
people call us gnomes. but thats not who we are...
were pixies born from guilded stars.
hearing mother nature call when all the leaves begin to fall.
sprinkling diamonds in woven webs on frosty mornings
when all thats green slumbers in its bed...

Cat Ass Trophies
In Dalston, London, where we lived for a spell,
we saw many stray cats & some were unwell.
From having just one cat of our own at the start,
we soon had 3 living with us but soon one had to part.
Poor Tommy had been our first and always on the hop,
but from the fits he was having that the vet could not stop
it soon became clear he was in danger so the time came
when we wa...

The Cat that lived Across the Road
Everything seemed in order, I suppose, to die
It was a warm enough day;
Certainly
The sun shone and birds sung
Even though birds would cause a feline heart to race
Normally
I’ve had my fill of life
Of tit bits and cosy sleeps, sometimes in next doors shed
Informally
And I’ve had my chases and midnight hunts
And I’ve always remember...

The King of the Garden
The King of the garden is dead
And now the vultures come
For once before they would fear to tread
But not now, now the King is dead.
The King was a battered mongrel dog
Who kept his enemies at bay
And no cat would dare to enter his domain
Whatever the time of day
The cats roam fearless now
And in the midday sun can quietly lie
Or dance and pla...

Modern love
He loves me
in a modern way. He texts me
almost every day. He posts his thoughts
on facebook pages and finds
my crazy cats outrageous. I think
there is a lot we share; Music, films,
the open air. Maybe he'll make
my life complete. I wonder
if we'll ever meet?

Like Smoke
It seems as though our visitors may have returned, or at least their feline portent
I saw a black cat
when a black cat
wasn’t ever there
I saw this black cat
who was comfortably sat
beneath my very chair
but that black cat
was not so sat,
because it wasn’t there
and I saw that cat
when it glared right back at
my own quizzical stare
though while I look...

Whisker
WHISKER
A whisker on the window sill
Means feline’s been around.
She didn’t leave her pawprints,
She never made a sound.
But I know that she’s been there,
The evidence there still:
A little, wispy filament
Upon the window sill.

We're gonna miss that cat
Today Bella died
And yes, both of us cried
‘Though we know so much is sadder than that.
Still she was a good friend,
Dignified ‘til the end
And now, we‘re gonna miss that cat.
She’d warmed both our feet
Would be waiting to greet
And before you could lay down your hat,
You’d hear that great purr
Feel the rub of her fur,
Oh how we’re gonna m...

Balloons in the tree
Pass me the toys I'll play with you
lets load the riffle let the bullet go loose!
Who's gonna shoot the balloons in the tree?
Who's gonna pull the knives out of me?
Your little sister now owns your touch
cook for the robots 'cause they fought for us
we'll never let the kite go fly free
we never ever will let you leave
So you've really got it going

Amber
My two humans
Have long firm noses
Hot breath
Seeking fingers
Stroking palms.
Lie long together
In the frosty waking night.
They lie in warm places
Closing me out.
Coiled on a warm lap
Under constant hand-caring.
Between feet
By the hot hearth.
In the bed
Between my two ...
