Vladimir (Assignment)

He is no vampire, my little Vladimir.

With eyes of blue that show he has no fear.

His fur is grey, so soft and fluffy too.

Just watch your feet he’s chasing shoe.

My kitten, Vlad, so full of life and joy,

Chaos and mayhem follow this small boy.

Till finally asleep in his new nest,

My trainers lost, the bed he loves the best.

He’s snug in tight, an afternoon of sleep,

He needs his energy to play and eat.

 

 

He’s cute; he’s fun, a pretty cat.

Where is he? Hiding in my hat.

He sleeps in naps then looks to play.

A ball to chase, he would all day.

A madness of activity, watch,

The soft toy mouse our Vlad will catch.

By his small dish he waits for tea,

Some chicken, tuna fresh from sea,

Then milk with egg to wash it all down,

Now curl up, nap in mum’s night gown.

    AAAHHH!! That is so adorable. I have a cat... but I'm really not an animal person... (it's my husbands) Even so this made me melt! Everything was so sweet! The rhyming was great, it flowed well and ... you described your kitty so perfectly... I think you could find a better picture though! Even so.. Vladimir sounds awesome. Love that name by the way.

      Vladimir hasn't learnt the art of posing for photos yet, he's only 5 weeks old. This is the best so far, will post new ones as he grows.

      Thank you
