It’s hoodie weather. Finally! (I’m a t-shirt guy, but a t-shirt without a hoodie is like tights without a cape, you know?) Anyway, as I sat hoodied and warm in my armchair this morning, an afghan draped across my legs (knitted, not human),
our little cat decided to curl up next to me. I offered rubs, and then continued to work on my Very Significant Project. Until she began to purr. At which point I got melty and had to stop to write this sentimental bit of fluff:
O, the sound
of a satisfied cat
Was there ever a music
more perfect than that?
I know: Cat poem? This probably means I’ll have to turn in my Serious Writer card, not to mention my Hemingway Club certificate. But, hey, I never attended the meetings, and they always spelled my name wrong, anyway. Now on with the day.
Wait, the cat’s in my lap now.
Still LOL. you blessed my day with mirth and warm fuzzies, Mitch.

A man with a soft spot for kitties is a fine human being.
We give doggie belly rubs in our home, though cat purrs are fondly remembered. 🐶🐱

You can keep your Hemingway club card. When I visited Florida I learned he had a pet cat with six toes and there are still descendants of this cat at the Hemingway museum. He’d love your poem as do I!
