Here is my poem for August:
Cat Naps
Summer days pass by
long, lazy and sun filled
cat naps are purr-fect!
Here are Charcoal and Marmalade, Mum and Son, enjoying a relaxing summers day.
Sleep, eat, play, relax and repeat!
“Kittens are angels with whiskers.” – Alexis Flora Hope
“In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods;
they have not forgotten this.”
Terry Pratchet
“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God.
Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God.”
Christopher Hitchens
“There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.”
Albert Schweitzer
“Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.”
James Herriot
“Women and cats will do as they please,
and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”
Robert A. Heinlein
“The smallest feline is a masterpiece.”
Leonardo da Vinci
“I have studied many philosophers and many cats.
The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.”
Hippolyte Taine
Briefly awake, above, stretch, and back to sleep.
“Cats leave paw prints in your heart, forever and always.”
