Kitty

a poem for children

I think Kitty is not guilty.

She was sleeping at first floor.

Daddy put lard in a mousetrap

And then locked our corn shed door.

 

Just one little mouse was caught

And I felt sorrow and pity.

Mommy gave him to the cat

Poor mouse, he was so pretty.

 

But our darling blue eyed Kitty,

Let the mouse run as he could

Choosing milk instead for breakfast,

Like an honest hunter should.

I watched my cat 'SPAZ' toy with a Robin this past week-end. He had it trapped by holding it's tail feathers down beneath his paw, waiting. He sat completely motionless, which for him, ( His nane IS Spaz! ) is quite out of the ordinary. Until the poor bird attempted to move, then he was anything but still! This lighthearted, rhythmic poem reminded me of that incedent. Oh, and don't worry, I freed the unharmed Robin and scolded Spaz. I wasn't going to just watch him eat the poor thing alive!

Mycat Shilo sometimes brings birds into the house. Sometimes they're past help, but most times I am able to free them and take them to a nice tree down the street.

This is adorable! I wish my cat wouldn't attack mice, it usually runs around with them it its mouth. xD

[Cristina Moldoveanu]

Not every cat attacks mice. You are lucky :)

[Skye]

That's one way of looking at it I guess. :)

My cats are fierce about mice. They know their duty.

very softly written....And true of most Cats I feel...they won't chase the ball of wool until you roll it

[Cristina Moldoveanu]

I agree. I have seen with my own eyes.

[Marie]

My Shiloh gets the ball of wool out of my basket and rolls it for herself...much to my annoyance...

[Dr. Wood ?]

that's why I knitted my poodle.....

[Cristina Moldoveanu]

Interesting Marie. I was also amused by kittens chasing may bugs, they are so funny.

I took this picture in a small village, things like this can happen, it has a meaning quite close to my poem, but here both are sleeping.
