Hershey, black satin, length of my torso,
Diamond green, serene eyes.
Velveteen curious nose,
Tongue like a pumice stone.
Her elegant but waddling stride.
Powerful, confident and territorial.
Sitting like a queen on her throne.
Cat of mine, mother to be.
Tuxedo, black and white, bow tie and all.
White sock covered feet, satin gloves,
Long white elderly whiskers,
He reminds me of Fred Astaire.
Quick, calculated, light on his feet,
Shy yet debonair.
Patient, watchful and full of pride,
Cat of mine, Father to be
Oreo, friend and foe.
Black face and tail.
Her body, white as snow.
Fearless fence and roof climber.
Mischievous youngster on the prowl.
Paws in the air, tummy exposed,
Purring loud vibrations.
Kitty of mine.
**If you are a Cat Lover and live in the Central Valley, California, zip 95361. I have 11 outside cats that need homes. I just moved off a ranch into a 33 foot fifth-wheel with three pop-outs (thank goodness). The owner at the ranch, is taking care of my cats. She is wonderful woman, but I have left a big chore for her.**
