‘Twas the day before Christmas
And all through the house
All the adult cats were snoozing
And I can’t find a mouse

Plant attack
I fight back
Guts are mess
Have new dress

I was sleeping,
On a pillow, in a sunny window,
On the second floor of the house.

I wasn't hungry,
Since my family gives me plenty of food,
And I didn't even finish my breakfast.

I heard a noise,
Which was the humans moving food bowls,
To prepare my dinner.

Now I am standing,
At the gate at the top of the stairs,
Yelling as if my life depended on it.

---- Cat, 2025

Crossed paws and long stretch
Sunshine through the sheer curtains
Happy blissful cat

Learnings From My Cat

From the cat I have learned

To linger in a sun spot streaming through the window

To let other things wait while the warmth infuses my bones

To revel in a perfectly comfortable position, and to stretch slowly as if it is the day’s only task

The joy to be found in stillness
