Cat Naps

Awww, snowball is a very lucky cat to have a poem all to himself.

Gotta' love that little guy :)

LMAO I just found a pet name for one of my old long lost friends. Thank you!!!

Oh, nice, lol 🤔😁

Lol. Among other things...
Thanks for stopping by, Sky ❤️!

I'm a cat person myself. My cat lives up to her name "princess". Nice playful poem.

I'm a cat person, but also a bird person... Go figure, lol.

My favorite animal = birds
Their #1 killer = cats

Hmmm...

Pst...can I tell u a secret.

Sureee

I think Snowball is lurking in the comments somewhere

Cute little baby! 🐱

Yes, he is ❤️
Thanks fur stopping by... Lol!

Aww. Now Snowball is getting famous on DUP and will live forever in your wonderful whimsical poem. It felt like I was there and I could see the scene played out before my own eyes. Exceptional work, my friend! Bravo!

You are right, faith, lol. He's currently celebrating his new, exciting life of fame by taking a nap! I'm glad you liked it. It never fails, if he sees me laying in the bed on my back, he's got to come jump on top of me to get pampered :P

Thanks for stopping by, and for your RL and comment ❤️

It was a real pleasure!

That's my little buddy ❤️
I'm glad you liked this one - it was a fun one for me to write!
Sometimes it's nice to break from being so meticulous with your poetry...
This, for example, took me a total of about 5 minutes, lol. I didn't overanalyze - it came out, and I just posted it!

Kitties snuggles are the best! What a sweet little tribute to your furry friend!

Awww, thanks for stopping by to spread the love, Eerie! ❤️

I think it's purrrrrrfect.



hugs,
buddhakitty.

Lol. How aptly played, heh :)

Thanks for your continued readership, Buddha!

beautifully composd...respect

Haha! I don't know about that, but thank you, Stoney. I kind of just threw this one together, heh :)

I appreciate you stopping by again to read - and also for RLing this!

it just reminds me when i had a cat name bay bay he use to do those things to me, it was heart felt of memories to remind me that there is still some beauty of love, in the world between humans and there pets of joy and laughter...respect

Healing Frequencies that purring gig!!

i'm certain that the Cat that adopted me long ago taught me HOW TO  nap -- lol
(would You mind if i shared this on Facebook?   My Step-Daughter is grooming herself to be a "Crazy Cat Lady" & would appreciate this spill)

There is a primal comfort that is invoked with this calming sound of contentment :)

Thanks for stopping by, Tallen - I am glad that you liked this :)
You are welcome to share any of my poems, anywhere - as long as you aren't claiming them as your own!

Thank You

Of course i'd credit You
no way i could copy You or anyone's ink
i have a hard enough time trying to understand
a lot of the ink here to begin with

My black cat was called blackjack a right scamp

Heh, I thought about naming mine something to reflect his color, but I figured a little irony and humor would be better, as well as more fitting to his and my personalities, so I went with Snowball... heh :)

Thanks for sharing that, slip!

Great poem! Lucky for you, your cat sounds great, minus the drooling. The cat my wife and I have now is somewhere near 13-16 pounds. So sitting on the lap is okay, but not while in bed. She's like a calico version of Garfield.

I should clarify. My cat is like Garfield.

Thanks so much, russel! I'm so glad that you liked it :)

He didn't actually always drool like that. When he was younger, he was hit by a car and injured his jaw, and after he recovered, he just kind of does that. The poor thing has an upper bite that makes him look like a vampire lol. He's about 12 pounds, and is such a sweet cat... on the brink of being too large and heavy, but not quite.

Thanks for sharing that, heh

Nice poem. I used to have a dog so I remember spending time with him. Had him for 15 years since I was 5 so it makes me miss him a bit. It's nice to have connection with something or someone.  Overall you showed love for the cat which I felt was sweet and shows a lot of character. Good job

Thanks Cosiest, your kind words mean a lot. Thanks for sharing that about your dog.

I believe the way a person treats animals is a direct reflection of character, and speaks for the person's empathetic capacity. In other words, if you can't be nice to a cat or a dog, you probably aren't going to be so nice to a human either. It upsets me that some people see animals as inferior to humans, and use this as a means to justify their mistreatment. I believe they should be treated with love, kindness, and respect just as any human should.

Snowball looks exactly like my cat, well written

Thanks for stopping by, Joy!
Perhaps Snowball is your cat's long lost brother ;)

At the rate they multiply, I'm sure he's got relatives all over the place, heh :)

Oh nice one newB.
Not a fan of cats but a lovely poem it is.
Indeed.....

Awww, that is sad to hear. I'm really glad that you liked the poem though. Why the prejudice? A cat must have rubbed you the wrong way lol

Well. No im just a dog lover.  
I guess im influenced by a movie i saw when little (dont even remember the name)  
Where the cat sucked the life/ breath of the people. 😂😂  
 
And even tho ive been told i got like cat eyes..... But noo dog it is. 🐶😉

Heh, that movie wasn't Stephen King's, "Cat's Eye" was it? If so, that scared me as a child as well! I used to be more of a dog person too... until I fostered a kitten myself :P

One of the biggest attractions are that cats self-clean! I don't think I've ever smelled a bad smell on my cat - with all of that meticulous grooming, they keep themselves pretty pristine... whereas, a dog might just roll in it... lol!

😂🐶
Ironically . ...
In japenese anime,
My fav character morphs into a black cat. Identical as yours....☺️

Aw! 💖 I'm kitty people too. This is such a lovely oasis amongst the heavy subjects we often come across in our reading, rendered with palpable tenderness and a great flow of descriptors, painting your pal on the page.

Little over a year ago, this stray wandered up to my back porch, skin and bones. Named him Dorian for the hurricane that didn't annihilate us. He's healthy now. He still lives outside, but climbs through an overhead vent into my shed, so I put a cat bed out there for him. He wakes me up every morning around 6, jumping from the back step banister onto the roof. Likes the bird's eye view, I guess. He got a cyst on his face last week and I took him to the vet. So well behaved, you'd think he was a domestic. One MAAAOOOWW of protest on the way there. 😅

They're really wonderful, our pets. Many wisdom traditions agree that much evil flows from the mouth. I vent often in my writing. There is something so Zen and disarming about their gentle eyes and no talking. Haha.  

Thank you for sharing something like this with us NB. May you and your lil friend be blessed. Namaste.

Aww, thanks for your sweet and thoughtful comment! It means a lot! As it is a lovely oasis for you, it is also a lovely oasis for me as well. It’s nice to take a break from the more serious matter from time to time to have a little fun… I think we all need that every now and again, lest we be very bitter individuals!

I loved your story about Dorian! Thank you for sharing that… how nice of you to nurture him back to health. You are a beautiful soul 💖

Also, I completely agree with what you said about the serenity of silence, and expression of emotion without words... sometimes things are meant to be FELT rather than discussed. That is truly a special gift to us.

Thank you, Daniel, for stopping by again, and for the kind blessing,

Best wishes,

-NewB

Wonderful. You had me at sweet little whiskers. This is why the internet is full of pictures of cats :)

Thanks so much for your kind comment, Ben! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it...It's very nice of you to stop by :)

I believe you are new to my poetry...If you get a chance, you should also check out some of my more serious poems. Perhaps you will like some of them as well!

This is lovely. We have a beautiful black cat that brings us immense joy.

Thanks so much for stopping by, David!
I had a feeling that you might enjoy this, judging by your profile picture that is. Your cat is very majestic :)

I adore this poem. Cats are affectionate creatures whose love brings warmth to the house they reside in. Silly poems are my favorites. And this one certainly rises above mere play into food for the soul.

sweet poem, I think animals love more purely than a lot of people can, no politics involved, they just get right down to the business of affection and can heal a wounded heart. I am always softer under their influence:)

Awww so tender and sweet and black cats are so CUTE! ❤

I had a bad nightmare on a black cat and it was terrifying though lol

If you want to read my story about it, i posted it here its called yellow eyes 🤗

Good job hun thanks for sharing 😊

I should probably get a cat now! Nice poem about your cat. I don't really like cats, because they have caws that can do more harm than a new sharpened knife. I don't like dogs either, got attacked by one of my brother's dog and he still claims that it was playing with me. The dog name was hulk and he had more muscles than fur. I wouldn't keep a bird as a pet, either I will not feed it right or I feed myself from it. So basically I just loved your poem and your cat really looks cool, as long as he stays in the poem. And as long as he stays overseas.

Lovely write NB

This is so sweet NewB. Cats are sweet and playful pets. My son loves cats and he let them sleep on his chest. 🌺😻
