I’m not well today and I have my cat purring beside me on my bed.
Nothing better than a cat
For company without the chat
A gentle purr to say he’s there
A little lick to show he cares

I never did receive a Manly Man Club card. Was it nice?

Hard to say. I earned some points by drinking beer, watching a few football games and cussing (I never really did like spitting). But then I scored a ton of negative points by humming show tunes and “sharing my feelings.”

The best poem I ever heard was about a cat. It was “written” by a two year old I was nannying at the time. I was sitting on the front steps of his house, he was sitting on my lap, and we were just watching the world when a cat sauntered by. “Kitty,” said my charge. “God made. Kitty. Happy God.”

No shame in a cat poem! I loved it. Our cat, Miss Potter, is queen of the castle for sure.

Hemingway had cats – lots of cats. He was a serious writer, therefore I conclude you have to have lots of cats to be a serious writer. I have three cats, but I believe you need 5 or 6 to considered serious.
and it takes a real man to say, “Yes, I love cute cuddly kitties. You got a problem with that buddy?”

Hemingway too? That’s interesting; after all, every serious writer should be a lover of cats. My favorite quote-machine Mark Twain was a lover of cats, as well. My favorite Twain quote is from his book Puddin’ Head Wilson:
A home without a cat — and a well-fed, well-petted and properly revered cat — may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove title?

It is said that the Prophet Muhammad, May He Rest in Peace, was sitting in a chair with his cat asleep on his sleeve. Rather than disturb the kitty he cut off the sleeve.
My Green Beret husband lost his Manly Man certification when he had to spend the night on the sofa because the cat was asleep on his head.

This made me so happy. Now that it has gotten colder, I have been spending more time inside with her and she loves the attention so much. She never used to curl up in my lap, but she finally does. This described it perfectly. I loved the poetry you added into this and also the humor. It was a great post to read and I will come back to your blog for more!
