Photo of the Day - 14 (see yesterday's post- there's a lot of photos there - LOL)

Meet Tigger - Jessica's new kitten - for some reason kittens don't give me the same allergic issues as grown cats do - so its safe for a while - then it will join Texas in being "Outside" guardians. Texas, by the way, is quite nervous of this new addition!

Punctuation

Your arched tail is a question mark
when you wish to inquire;
its a rigid exclamation point
when you express your ire.

You whiskers cup quotations
around your every yowl.
Your paw scoops, like a comma,
to knead, or play, or prowl.

And when at night you settle
into a curve of sleep,
your gentle shape parentheses
the dreams you wish to keep.

Silly Question

When people see my cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?"
Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"
