Lethargic, sinuous, that’s my cat
You see him everywhere
He likes to chat about this and that
Whilst sitting on my chair
Some say his colour is nearly brown
Others think he is grey
He never thinks to pop into town
But rather sleeps all day
At the smell of some fish in his dish
He’ll raise one sleepy eye
And his tail will give a lazy swish
He’s never very spry
He has seldom been a one for toys
He shows disdain at those
He rarely hangs out with other boys
Preferring just to pose
He is a very heavy feline
Some might say he’s too fat
Upon this subject I must incline
But I love my round cat
Cats are beautiful and intelligent. Jx

Cats are cats, bautiful, soft and unattached… and now you say he is round too… how lovely.
Enjoyed reading it.

What a writeup!! Very informative and easy to understand. Looking for more such blog posts!! Do you have a twitter or a facebook?
I recommended it on stumbleupon. The only thing that it’s missing is a bit of color. Anyway thank you for this blog.

I love the relationship you have with this little (or not so little one).
I love the picture you paint with his disdain and lazy tail.
Thanks for coming by One Shot Wed. I really enjoy your pieces – real life stuff

Thanks for such kind words.

nice tribute to your round friend. Kitties are truly their own bosses and refuse to fit into anyone else’s molds. WE should aspire to that. Nice oneshot
Comment by Katherine — September 18, 2010 @ 2:11 pm |
Thank you Katherine. My cat is definitely his own boss.

He sounds like a fine fellow indeed. He has realized that if there are errands to be accomplished, that’s what staff (humans) are for!
Comment by Fireblossom — September 19, 2010 @ 12:02 pm |
Thanx. He moderates his orders with purrs.

The cats in our lives could spur so many words. I have such a visual of you cat from your words. Right now my cat is outside my window batting at moths. Oh he is too funny. He is just a little thing but a real fatty and so lazy sometimes also. Have a great week..
