This may sound like a hymn-poem title
With the often alliteration
(long word there for this time of the morning, says Fido!)
But cats - and dogs - as well as people know
Know when we may need comfort
They will jump up on your lap
If they can fit on your lap
Or on to your bed
They'll come to you
Not only for food!
They'll stay a while
Your furry friends!
They might not all be talking, reading
Or checking poems for 18+ tick-box omissions like Fido does....
But pets for company in old age
Or whatever age one is
Feed them fresh or luxury foods too often
Adn they may get fussy
And may not eat anything else
They're sentient, feelings beings
Never 'dumb' animals.....

Indeed - my little Stanley is always in my lap -
Thanks M. Ahh, lovely Stanley! One of our two cats is a big black tom.
So right Orchi and our cat senses when I can do with a cuddle and so does my dog. Never dumb. That is reserved for some of our own species. Hoping that today is kind to you.
Thanks Cassie. They know - those pets.... Some ongoing health matters here.
I hope the problem is soon resolved . Take care.
Orchi A nice tribute to our furry friends. I have had pets in the past and have enjoyed them all. They seem truer and more faithful than people.
Thanks SB. I of course, as some say, have giant hamsters - as in my pic! For the umpteenth time, they are guinea pigs. lol.
Nicely done. And agree. Our pets need spoiling. My black Labrador eats better than I do. 🙂
Thanks Tom. They can get fussy. Luxury food one day, then they want it every day! lol.
Excellent
Thanks Tony.
You're welcome
So those humpsters you have.....
Good plea - you can extrapolate your argument to all animals - think before you eat them......
Thanks Dave.
You don't deserve the acclamation you have received here orchi - do you really believe 'thanks' up and down this column is enough reward for all the effort everyone put into reading and commenting here?????
I dunno what to elaborate on sometimes. Well - better than saying - 'Go away; it's a rubbish comment!' lol.
A poet kept putting 'Poor write' on poems. They hounded him off the site!
Is that why I've never seen that comment, despite that occasionally.....?
I must get hounded off the site. But it's not nice to find comments of 'Poor write' or 'I don't care for this poem much'.
Not nice at all. Just remember you have friends - your humpsters are very loyal - I've not seen them turn away the whole time I've been here.
I've had too long a love affair with felines, but love dogs and birds as well, to boot.
Lovely tribute to these charming friends and companions. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks CM.
ive always said i need a cat i can put in a bike basket and ride around town with
Thanks MR. I saw one in town, but it wasn't happy, chained to the bicycle handle. Can't blame the cat for being unfriendly.
thats terrible
Yes - a guy takes the cat with him round town on his bike. It seems quaint and cute, but it's cruel. The cat gets bad-tempered.
just got to get a cat that enjoys it and dont leave it outside if you know your going to go somewhere just dont bring it
Agreed! All the pets I've had in my lifetime, and the precious pup I have today, remind me of the simplicity and peace that comes with being alive.
Thanks R.
I recently lost my dear companion of more than twenty years. Some people reacted to my grief by saying "it was only a cat". I have mostly pity for them. Thanks for this.
Thanks Dan. Aww, over 20 years - it\'s never \'only a pet\', is it?
Such very true words 0rchi, pets do help so mnay people in their lives.
Andy
Thanks Gold. They say to me 'Is that you singing, or two cats fighting?' lol.
I heard it said $200 a week!
Two dogs and a cat, well fed.
Thanks 2.
