Silky

  http://fc14.deviantart.com/fs30/f/2008/049/c/5/Cat_by_Dragarta.jpg

 

Silky fur in your hand,

A silent smile giving joy,

Caring paws touching.

 

A feeling they stir inside,

Makes all illness flee away,

A family member, a friend.

 

They licked my tears,

And meow my cries,

When I was unable.

 

A strong love we share,

Holds darkness at bay,

More then just a pet.

 

They make me laugh,

They make me worry,

They make me love.

Author notes

This is dedicated to Tussi, Casanova, Missy and Casper that are stray cats our family have rescued, this poem is also dedicated to those stray cats we have found new homes to and those who have passed away.

    I love Cats and this poem as well,
    I have had Sandals, Slippers, Scarlet, Zoeh and Max all cats that have left big tracks on my heart.

    I like it, I like it so!

    Yea -- cats are great.
    Couple of questions: Are you holding the cat's paw as if you're holding hands? That's new, but odd. What does "meow my cries" mean?
    And by "steer" I think you mean stir, unless that was some sort of pun, and you were talking about oxen all along.

      Yes I often hold they're paws or rest mine against theirs as they all like to be tickeled inbetween their toes.
      "Meow my cries" means that our five cats was the only thing holding me up when my father died a few months ago. They even made me eat once, they are itellegent but most people are too proud to see that.
      "Steer" must be a spelling mistake, happens every now and then.

    This is a wonderful poem filled with sweet emotion.
    It reminds me of my childhood when we at last count, had about 17 cats running around and I loved them all.
    Thanks for sharing with me.

      If you ever got the chance to be around these four lovable furrbals you would say the same. Right now I have Casper by my side, growling if I try to go outside, mum taught him that, I feel like I am in a house arrest
