Paws For Thought

I wish i could speak with my cats and for them to understand me

I'd tell them not to kill other creatures but if they felt the need to kill

Then to do it quickly and not torture them first
And to put the remains in the bin!

I really don't want to wake up anymore with the dead on my patio
Or worse my kitchen floor or bed!

I'd rather not say   Oh for me!   that's very kind I'll eat it later
While picking the lifeless corpse up by foot or tail or  entrails depending what's left! and placing in the bin

I'd tell the two toms to play nice with their sister as she is losing fur rapidly with the stress of it   she is not a toy
Though summer is here so she's probably the coolest stressed out cat in the area

And the 8 month old to stop trying to mount his older brother, Its just not right
He now sleeps with one eye open and now needs counselling

I'd tell them to wipe there paws before walking on the white tiled floor

I'd tell them tea time is 5pm not 8am till 10pm or any other time not mentioned

I'd tell them not to walk  lay  or play with the keyboard when I'm using it  and the mouse isn't real don't torture it

I'd tell the older tom to stop trying to stare me out even if it is tea time  its spooking me

I'd tell the younger tom to not play on my van  I've checked the paw prints I know its you

I'd tell them to please leave the snakes alone  even if they do taste like chicken

And next doors fish  koi carp might look tasty  but we live here too

But most of all I'd tell them that I loved them

I think they already know
