Being owned by cats is another thing for which there is no vaccine or immunity. π
]]>That’s why these are my last cats, Badtux, I’m too old to start again.
Yes, ΠΠ½Ρ, your ΠΊΠΎΡΠΊΠΈ will soon be Π±Π°Π±ΡΡΠΊΠΈ.
Kryten, at least you know it going in. The pain of the loss is still there, but not as bad as the loss of Income, for instance, whose death was so unexpected at a very young age.
]]>Ode To Cats
by Shannon Karbousky
They say quiet as a mouse,
But don’t let them fool you.
Light on their feet,
Able to pounce without notice.
Sleek and regal,
Fluffy and stout.
A rainbow of colors,
An array of personalities and moods.
Curled up on the heater,
Batting the fringe on the lampshade.
Licking the cold and slippery fish tank glass,
Biting wiggly toes under the dinner table.
Cuddly touch-me-nots.
Playful recluses.
Not a charade,
But the power of preference of these
Pussycats
Who control their masters –
Puppets on a string.
What a magnificent puppet show it is!
And I remember my boys George and Tux dying too, which is why I have another pair of cats now. I guess we’re just getting old.
SIGH.
– Badtux the Elderly Penguin
