I’ve been out all day,
so she’s been in.
I arrive back home
in early evening cold.
She doesn't want food first.
She runs to the back door.
I let her into her courtyard garden.
She wants me to come too,
but I’m busy unloading shopping.
She sits, statuesque,
on top of her mini-trampoline
(yes of course it’s hers)
until dusk has fallen.
I love it. She is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHa, cats know their own mind!
ReplyDeleteEverything is hers--your coming and going, your sit-upons!
ReplyDeleteLove the mind of a cat.. I wonder sometimes if cats thrive on being watchers.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brudberg, cats survive by thinking things out, watching, learning and coping with the world...and being head of the household!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo; you've certainly captured the fickle nature of our feline friends. Life seams to be an endless round of unpacking shopping.
ReplyDeleteAmazing creatures, aren't they? I love how you describe your feline friend here :D
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Sanaa
Ooh. Lovely. :-)
ReplyDeleteI've always been intrigued by cats. We have this petite cat that prowls around in my college. It's such a curious creature.
-HA
A priceless moment..vividly described..
ReplyDeleteShe does look a little bit reproachful - bless her - i did wonder about the trampoline in another post you showed us.. how nice it would be to have a private space to jump around a little - I hope she forgave you and you at least got a small cuddle or purr
ReplyDeleteShe's pretty much non-vocal, doesn't purr – but did forgive me quickly and came in to have a big smooch. Let's just say I've had the mini-tramp (aka bouncer) a lot longer than I've had her, but she believes it is for her convenience. She lets me bounce on it sometimes.
Deleteaww..it's always delightful to have a cute and intelligent companion :)
ReplyDeleteLovely dedication to your sweet feline. Yes everything belongs to them...bkm
ReplyDeleteAnimals have their own agendas--what a cutie she is!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely character...yeh, wondering if I ever will have a cat.... ~ love your phrase: 'She sits, statuesque'.
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely. Enjoyed reading the poem :)
ReplyDeleteEverything is hers, including you. And the look on her face says that the sooner everyone understands that fact, the sooner all will be well.
ReplyDeleteI love her posture. And your capture of it.
Love that expression! ... and her white whiskers... your words capture her so very beautifully.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful and it looks like she is already letting you know she rules.
ReplyDeleteLove the title - so true of coming home to a pet that has been WAITING, just for you! Smiles.
ReplyDeletelook at those eyes, oh wow!
ReplyDeleteshe wants you to know who's boss. :)
Cats own everything they see and touch!
