Cats need more attention.
No cats that I have known agree.
Miss Kitty, using my son as a pillow,
would not have found attention necessary.
Welcome, but unnecessary.
Some cat’s are like that ~ stand offish and aloof
until it’s time for them to insist on attention.
My cat, Jet, just walks across my laptop
leaving a row of unrelated letters in my work.
I’m to figure out what he was spelling and.
can usually figure it out. I respond; he settles.
While not as emotionally demonstrative
as dogs, cats do have a quiet way of
inserting themselves into our lives.
So I bow to all the feline companions
I’ve had over the years. Quiet companions,
until it’s time to be pragmatic and eat.
“If animals could speak the dog would be
a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat
would have the rare grace of
never saying a word too much.”
~ Mark Twain
