If Cats Could Talk

Having shared my living space with a cat for the last two weeks, I have a new respect for the little beasts. There's a lot of pretending going on behind those miaows, but I took note of the wild glint in the eye.
ReplyDeleteAh, this is so true! And, funny. Love this, girl.
ReplyDeleteWhen people spend time with cats, they get the connection. Do you ever wish you dared to pee in boots like this puss in boots?
ReplyDeleteSince I've only had dogs I'd take that as the sign the wee critter is not successfully house broken. Needs more learnin'.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Maybe she needs some catnip bliss for Christmas! This is funny, kiddo. Love the ending!
ReplyDeletepoor kitty's just plain nuts. and is training her humans. meow!
ReplyDeleteLaughing at the end--yes, it happens all the time, and not just with cats(ummm, not the piss-in-boots stuff, hopefully, the faulty communication attempts.) Beyond clever and off into that poetry stuff, Marian.
ReplyDeleteShows what a cool cat you are, anyway! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your take on your cat's "expressiveness"!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the message soon. I admire your humour under stress.
ReplyDeleteYou'll never stop being one of my Fantastic Four, Marian. <3
ReplyDeleteaw, thank you. and hello, great to see you! xo
DeleteA natural tendency of extending hints which we humans are not aware of. They certainly have a way of doing it! Nicely Marian!
ReplyDeleteHank
oh!! poor animal
ReplyDeleteWe have a calico who is eternally frustrated that we aren't quite getting the message from her, delivered in a thousand daily rubs & mews & pawings & runs about the house. Words just get in the way. The most eloquent thing a cat ever said to me is when my wife's Himalayan took a dump by the door I had taken his Mommy out through on our first date.
ReplyDeletehaha! lordy, sometimes i really question why we humans think we can domesticate cats.
ReplyDeleteyou have a unique and enjoyable way of expressing questions... loved this ... but I don't have the answer... :)
ReplyDeleteI know how that feels, too, and only too well. I have sympathy for both you and the cat, but all my years of living with cats didn't teach me how to interpret piss-in-boots. Sorry, wish I could have helped.
ReplyDeleteLuv, K
This is great! I'm glad my cats are much more eloquent about stating their needs. :-) Someday, I hope to be as good as them.
ReplyDeletehah, thank you all. makes for a good poem, i think. :) our poor cat is just plain damaged, sweet girl. we rescued her & she came with some pretty significant issues. "issues!"
ReplyDeletedid I miss it? if not - that would make this cat "Piss in Boots", yes? ~
ReplyDeleteyes... that is, in fact, her nickname!
