If you wonder why people like cats
you probably never had
whiskers
caress
the small of your back
when you try to pee
peacefully
– Or you have
One of the prompts today was to write about an imaginary friend. I’ve never had one, but for the first time in my life I have a pet who roams through the house. We bought her as a friend for my child, who has no brothers or sisters. I’m glad we did, even though she turns out to be a handful 🙂

So sweet! (although I’m sure not always so sweet when awake…) (K)
We too have a cat… One who tends to wake you up at 4am because he wants to go out meet his friends, or wants to sleep snuggled up to you even if his bulk hurts your aching joints.
But we love him nonetheless 😉
This made me smile. I love cats, grew up surrounded by all kinds of cat characters. I enjoyed this poem so much.
