My Calico Cat

Eileen Clark

I Have a calico cat very quiet and shy
He disappears when my friends stop by                                                                                                                                                              They tease and ask, does he meow or cry                                                                                                                                                              Are we ever going to see this little guy

His toys are scattered around on the floor                                                                                                                                                              I have padding on every corner and door     
When you are here in his invisible presence
Things to know to make your visit pleasant

Sit still and be calm so he can get to know                                                                                                                                                            His instincts will tell if you're friend or foe                                                                                                                                                              He'll grab at your foot from under the couch                                                                                                                                                    Then grab the other before you can say ouch

Time has passed and my cat’s doing well                                                                                                                                                              He now wears a collar with a little bell                                                                                                                                                                    So when he hides he’s not so hard to find                                                                                                                                                            Such a blessing cause he hides all the time

I don't let him out to play in the warm sun                                                                                                                                                              It’s hard for I know he would have such fun                                                                                                                                                          He bumps into chairs and walks into the wall                                                                                                                                                        He doesn't know which way to go when I call

I've had my cat now for quite a few years                                                                                                                                                            When he leaves I will shed many tears                                                                                                                                                                  He has been a handful but I don't mind                                                                                                                                                                  My precious little calico cat is totally blind.

      another elegant, poignant, sensitive poem
      I have never had a blind animal, dog or cat, but I feel that because of your masterful writing, words and rhymes, I can relate
      thanks

        Good day , I have two cats that are over ten years old, neither one is blind. I just seem to write many poems about many things to do with cats because I love my two so much. Thank you for your always wonderful input.
