The cat
on the hat
The cat sits
on his master’s hat,
And slowly
gazes round;
This place
is better than a mat
And high
above the hound.
His claws
are sheathed in velvet paws,
With eyes
half-closed, he naps;
Twitching
his tail, he gently snores,
Dreaming of
mice, perhaps.
Alas! Alack!
His brother’s back,
Time to
vacate the cap,
Anything to
avoid the whack
Of a less
than friendly tap.
This is so much adorableness , my heart nearly popped!

Anything that belongs to us, belongs to them!
DeleteThis is so sweet! My cat likes to lie on things I've worn too, I think it reassures her I am still around and coming back again whenever I am out.
ReplyDeleteI think there's a lot of truth in that.
DeleteDo the cats like sitting on the hat? Or did you place them there to take the photos?
ReplyDeleteCats choose where they go - they will not be placed. If you try, they simply get up and walk away. They're not nearly as accommodating as dogs and much harder to train.
DeleteI used to slerp on F's jumper if she divested it while gardening. I never had a bro with a look like that to disturb my dreaming. Does he practice that look? Xxx Mr T
ReplyDeleteHerschel doesn't practise that look - it just comes naturally ;-) x
DeleteHi Janice - ha ha ... they just love being near us, or on us ... funny critters - but quite delightful ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThere's no point having them otherwise!
ReplyDeleteYour post made me smile, Janice, so thank you for that! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann. x x x
DeleteAnd he barely fits! So typical of a cat :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my cats hurries to lie on any item placed on the floor - clothing, towels, linens for the laundry, purse, shopping, boxes etc. I don't know why, maybe to claim it as hers. It's predictable and entertaining, though.
Cats have to possess everything that takes their fancy. The funniest is when they squeeze into boxes that are far too small for them. As you say, predictable and entertaining! x
DeleteGreat poem with obliging cat for inspiration,lol.
ReplyDeleteThey are such posers!
