Velcro Kitties

You enter my life
As two small meowing
Balls of compassion
During a time
I truly needed love.

Shattering the barriers
I have erected
Throughout my life
Protecting myself
From others.

No matter
How long I am away
From both of you
I always find you
Waiting for me
At the front door.

Brightening my moods
During my darkest days
Of depression
And anxiety problems.

In providing me
With around the clock
Watch detail
Whether just Venus
Or both of you
Venus and Squeak.

Although
There are times
I do wish
For more time
Alone.

To fully
Savour the warmth
Of a long hot bath
Without the fear
Of one of you
Falling into the bathtub
With me.

Not I do not like
Your constant companionship
Rather
It is having
To patch myself up.

After your claws
Flail around
Desperately attempting
To find solid footing
With my body being
Your anchor.

Especially
When Squeak’s claws
Are raking my body
As he tries to avoid the water.

Sigh
Will admit
There are times
It feels like
We are attached
Together
For life.

although cats often have the reputation of being aloof and distant...all the cats i have had have been close companions...and sometimes, as in the case, a bit too close...always under my feet close..

being a cat person, i really appreciate these feline journeys.

Just aloof and distant, are rumours spread by those, who don't like cats, Jacob.
