This work has reached the exceptional level
like a king.

The life of a cat.

by royowen

The life of a cat it's not like a bat,
it's not like a dog's, or even a rat,
they're more like a lord, a queen, or a king-
"your highness all whims in service we bring".

Cats are supreme, second only to God
they don't give a damn, or care, give a sod,
if I could but choose, the life of a cat-
"in the blink of an eye, faster than that."



Recognized


Somebody once said: "Dogs have owners, cats have staff, or subjects."
This was a contest entry I missed. *Sod, colloquial English, couldn't care less.
All the cats we had as pets, wanted to be let in, or out, immediately, their meals served on time, the most comfortable spot in the house. But we loved them all, they brought something special into our lives, all God's creatures are special. Footnote: we loved and owned dogs too!
