Following poems dedicated to all my "cat" friends:
To My Cat Friends
by Greg Moore
My home is where my feet touch
My bed is what's under me when I'm sleepy
My food is anything that tastes good.
My friends are whom I choose.
The night is my safety, the day is my warmth.
I'm proud but not vain. Simple things delight me
I love to be loved, but love when I choose.
I adapt very quickly,but prefer my routine.
I am curious to a fault.
I am beautiful, and I'm clean, and I know it.
My soft voice can comfort, my anger is clear.
I practice my agility so none can compare.
I am what I am, and I would be no other,
I am cat! And that's that!
A Friend Is A Treasure
Author Unknown
A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift
A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty,joy, and grace
And makes the world we live in
A better and happier place.
Sandpaper Kisses

Sandpaper kisses on a cheek or chin
that is the way for a day to begin!
Sandpaper kisses- a cuddle & purr
I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!!
"What Cats Do For Us"
Author Unknown
~Warm our laps ~Give us someone to talk to ~Help reduce high blood pressure ~Bring the winter air inside, nestled in their coats ~Create a kindred feeling with other "cat people" ~Turn common household objects like bottle caps into toys ~Make us more aware of birds ~Donate their services as alarm clocks (There is no such thing as a snooze button on the cat who wants breakfast! She'll walk on you to get you up! ) ~Display daring acrobatic feats right in front of our eyes ~Contribute to living a longer life ~Make a window sill more beautiful ~Keep mice on the run ~Make us smile ~Inspire poets and playwrights ~Teach us how to land on our feet ~Let us indulge our desires to really spoil someone ~Make our homes warmer ~Remind us that life is mysterious ~Share with us the all-is-well experience of purring ~Instruct us in the luxurious art of stretching ~Show us how to lick our wounds and go on ~Give us cool cartoon characters ~Make even an old worn couch look beautiful ~Open our hearts
