Tanka #34 ...tell that...to the Cat
Everything I have ever heard
and everything I've read
says cats are strictly carnivores...
Tell that...to the cat...who's up on the kitchen counter
...eating the last two roasted carrots...

Our cat came in with a bird the other day so I've switched the cat-flap to one way only - out.

Not even...B-kitty...
the little dude is no closet vegetarian...
he loves his Tuna and Sardines...
and he's and inveterate bowl licker and scourer of pots
we have a ''catch and release'' program
where the wildlife is concerned...

I'm a firm believer in cats being omnivores. I've watched my fe-lions eat too many odd things to believe they are strictly carnivores. Lost a kitty to a plant once. Still getting over that trauma. Yeah, someone forgot to notify cats of the rules. Got a giggle outta this one. :-)
