Hi Lisa. Love this. Well written about an important topic. There are so many in shelters that need homes. Pray that they find loving pet parents. Lily is beautiful. Your rhyming is perfect and sends a good message. Marilyn

Thank you, Marilyn. Lily is proving to be a delightful companion. She was very anxious and took to hiding in inaccessible places initially, but now she is full of beans, knowing she can trust me.

Our son adopted a shelter dog and our daughter. a kitten. Our families are getting bigger - and that's a good thing. Thank you for sharing the poetic introduction and photo!

Thanks for reviewing. I am really enjoying having a small, lively personality around me - and on my lap.

This limerick suite, Choosing a Kitten, has the general formatting times three and finds the merry yet limiting opportunity to select a new kitty cat.

Hi LisaMay,
Congratulations on getting a new housemate! What a cutie ;)
I really enjoyed reading your limerick style poem - a light and lovely start to my Sunday.
Best wishes as always, Debra :)

Tabby's are the best kitties. I'm so thrilled you got one after all! I love the poem and adore "I'll be takin' ten home in my pockets... " She has gorgeous green eyes and I'm sure will inspire quite a few posts :)

Thanks Margaret. Lily is settling in well - very distracting company! She even tried to write her own poem by scampering across the keyboard.

Lily is a real tabby, she's got those perfect markings, I don't think I've seen one so perfect. You've written this in three quintet stanzas of 88668, which are near to limericks but not quite the same meter, well done, Lisa May. Blessings, Roy

A very well-written poem and announcement of the new member of the family that is a beautiful little stripy cat and I am sure she found a wonderful home.

I adore kittens and enjoyed reading this offering. I used to do volunteer work at various animal shelters and it's so depressing how many unwanted pets there are. Have fun with Lily. Hugs, Lou

All of my life I had cats--till just a few years ago. Sometimes I think I'll go get me one; I do love cats. Your limerick suite is well written, descriptive, and delightful.
