Inspired by Jack B's thread Life is Good where he writes a poem from his cat's perspective.

Here's Honeybunny's first artistic work, would love to read other kitties'!

I am a little Honeybun
Thats what my mama coos
Even though my kitty nails
I sharpen on her shoes

Its 5 am well dont you know
Its finally the time
To hop up on the windowsill
And rattle all the blinds

They loudly patter on the glass
It makes quite a commotion
She finally clambers out of bed
Shes moving in slow motion!

I yell at her in kitty talk
To get her moving quickly
"Oh yes youre starving", she intones
"Poor kitty cat, so sickly"

I'm not a kitty to be mocked
Dont give me any lip
I weave between her moving legs
Just willing her to trip

But ah she knows me all too well
Her footsteps slow and steady
I hear the catfood tin pop open, then:
"Is kitty ready?"

Plop plop, my food goes on the plate
I chow down like a fiend
When finished i hop on the couch
My face i need to clean

I lick my paws and wash my face
I cant forget my whiskers!
Behind my ears and all my toes
And then my momma whispers

"Was breakfast yummy Honeybun?"
I purr my positive reply
I curl up tightly in the sun
And hear my mama softly sigh

"Ok kitty, nighty night"
I feel her softly stroke my head
"Thank god i can go back to sleep!"
She snorts, and then goes back to bed.

We are the three muskateers
Evie, Emerson, and Dexter;
Though when we ignore our mother's calls,
We surely must've vexed her.

We know some human words,
Mainly "NO! GET DOWN! GET OUT!"
Again, we ignore these words,
She doesn't need to shout.

Ah, 3 a.m.,
Before the sun is up;
And yet, here's Emerson asking for breakfast,
Though it's only been hours since our sup.

We follow mom gleefully
As she trudges to the kitchen;
We meow and yowl and try to convey
We only want some chicken.

Throughout the day
We sleep and snore, quiet as a mouse;
And yet, when the sun goes down,
we tear a** through the house.

Floating Untethered In The Stratosphere
A Stomachs Growl by Felix Meggie
Late in the night, early in the day,
I get the sudden urge to play.
Up on the table, deep in the basement,
Not caring what the humans say.

Drag this towel here and that panty there,
No clothing is safe from my grip.
Up and down the stairs, on and off the chairs. I really do not care.

Time has past, the party is over fast and a pain settles in my belly.
The food is out of sight, that cannot be right. I demand a meal that is steady.

Looking all around, not a soul to be found but a dog and a fish and an old grump.
Jump jump jump up on mothers bed,
crushing her ribs and stepping on her head.

Meow in this ear, and then meow in the other.
GET UP OLD WOMAN, I NEED ANOTHER!

No treat on earth will do for a meal is what I need you fool!

She gets up and sits on the toilet, I open the door hoping to foil it.
Scratching her side and letting my needs to known.
COME ON WOMAN, GET OFF YOUR PHONE!

My stomachs growl is all I feel,
Why can't you understand that I need a meal.

Selene:

A closed door I cannot abide
A handle simply wounds my pride
Such noises on the other side
But exploration is denied

I live here in my human's lair
The bed is warm and meals are square
But boredom is too much to bear
The outside world I long to share

The door swings wide and I dart past
I know my human is aghast
My freedom never seems to last
I'll have my fun but make it fast

I'll have to come up with something for Charlie later :think:

We stalk and we sneak
Around the corner we peak
We smell all the goodies
Even those left in the sink
Like fish skin and beef fat
And egg shells (we wink)

So we meow and we trill
And we do our best kitten
‘Cause we know that our humans
with us are quite smitten!

This is what I wrote as an interpretation about my Lily's story. And also as an ode to those who rescue and those who take a chance on the ones who so often get left behind. I hope you like it.

I Fall Asleep

A lady came and took me away, from the only place I've known.
Where food is scarce and most are unwell, a place you feel alone.
I fall asleep...

I'm tired, I'm sick, I'm to weak to even stand,
but Lady wrapped me, nice and warm, and held my head in her hand.
I fall asleep...

It's bright, I'm scared, but too tired to fight.
Then Lady gave me to another, who said I'll be alright.
I fall asleep...

I'm warm and fed, but really scared, nothing is the same,
then Lady comes in and sits beside me, I'm really glad she came.
I fall asleep...

My belly hurts, my babies are coming...one, two, three...
Lady says “you're babies are precious”, I have to agree.
I fall asleep...

One by one my babies leave me, but I'm still left behind.
People don't even see me, I'm scared, small and hard to find.
I fall asleep...

Lady says I'm sweet and pretty, and someone will come along,
but I'm sad, withdrawn, sick again, and still not very strong.
I fall asleep...

Two people come in and they're calm and happy, they take time to meet us all.
But I stay hidden and tucked away, backed up against the wall.
I fall asleep...

Lady finds me and brings me out, those same two people smile.
Our eyes meet and I feel peaceful, I've not felt that in a while,
She wraps me in a blanket and holds me nice and tight,
He reaches for me and pats my head...”I think she's just right”
She asks me about something that I have never heard.
“Home”...What's that? I'm so confused about a such a simple word.
But something tells me, I should go, and that I'll be just fine
these two people with the loving eyes, this must be a good sign.
I fall asleep...

I'm warm and cozy, my people take good care.
no longer am I sick and lonely, my family, the answer to my prayer.

I'm home....I fall asleep...

That is an awesome, well written poem and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it was somewhat sad to read. You’ve got a talent for writing! Thank you 🙏🏻
