Like Cheshire cat grinning
Licking the Yakult pot
Now laughing to himself
Left home alone smirking
The house now his to roam
First he clawed the curtains
Sat deep in the pillows
Of the master bedroom
Then jumped quickly down
To sit by the window
Watching the little birds
Scratch in the earth outside
Then went to the cat flap
To crawl slowly outdoors
Looked this way and that
To choose which friends to find
He jumped up the high fence
Hoping to see them there
But only dog on lead
So spat and snarled at him
Coughed up clot of fur ball
So ran back to the house
Just as Mistress returned
"Good boy, you've been sleeping"

One always wonders what they get up to when we're away. Surely they can't spend all that time sleeping!
ReplyDelete...and people ask why I don't have a cat!
ReplyDeleteMy second Whirl!
All the cats I had slept all day and played at night. Good one, Robin!
ReplyDeleteThey have a way of giving a picture of good behavior to the lady of the house!
