[FONT=Times New Roman][B][SIZE=5]my cats [/SIZE][/B][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I know. I know.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]they are limited, have different[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]needs and [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]concerns.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]but I watch and learn from them. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I like the little they know, [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]which is so [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]much. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]they complain but never [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]worry,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]they walk with a surprising dignity. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]they sleep with a direct simplicity that[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]humans just can’t [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]understand.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]their eyes are more [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]beautiful than our eyes. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]and they can sleep 20 hours [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]a day [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]without [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]hesitation or [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]remorse. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]when I am feeling [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]low [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]all I have to do is[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]watch my cats [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]and my [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]courage [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]returns. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]I study these [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]creatures. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]they are my [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]teachers.[/FONT] -

[I][FONT=Palatino Linotype][SIZE=5][COLOR=purple]Sasha has a bad habit of this, if you don’t pay attention to her. She reach over a bite you on the leg, oh well that’s just her attention getter.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/I]

For one reason or another, I must have missed this thread – thanks for bringing it to the front of the list again, Mauricette!
I just adore your pictures of the feral (or any) cats, Ken – they are sooo beautiful, you capture their very souls! And I loved the poem too!
Here, for once, Mosse is center stage, telling William that Hubby is HERS!
