If Cats Could Talk

The cat took a piss
in my tall boots.
What is she trying to say?
Previously, she pissed
in my pink scuff slippers
& two perfectly good
unmatched Converse sneakers.
Apparently, I haven’t
gotten the message yet.
It must be aggravating
to express yourself
again & again,
yet not be understood.
Wait, I know how that feels.

    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.

    When people spend time with cats, they get the connection. Do you ever wish you dared to pee in boots like this puss in boots?

    Since I've only had dogs I'd take that as the sign the wee critter is not successfully house broken. Needs more learnin'.

    Laughing 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.

    I love your take on your cat's "expressiveness"!

    A natural tendency of extending hints which we humans are not aware of. They certainly have a way of doing it! Nicely Marian!

    We 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.

    I 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.
    Luv, 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.

    did I miss it? if not - that would make this cat "Piss in Boots", yes? ~
