at Christmas only
i get all the yummy stuff
i'd like every day

filou, good for you!
treats from your mom, my dad
tries, i'm too picky

[Barbara]

Tigris says I don't
want all that human food that
Filou is craving

[RICHARD]

tigris, it's o.k.
to eat human food, just don't
eat at Mac donald's

[Barbara]

eddie you're clever
i'll follow your advise
regarding my meals

Filou gets human
food I get cat food but no
hamburgers for us

[RICHARD]

dad gives me some ham
i like the cheese on cheetos
but i love Whiskas!

--------
i run thru the house
at night-cat on a mission
to keep dad awake

--------
i love warm clothes straight
from the dryer- what is with
all the dark colors?

it seems all my white
fur comes off and sticks to his
clothes for tomorrow.

[Karen]

Snowing, cold outside
Why do you open the door?
No frozen paws here!

I stare at wild birds
From my cozy windowsill
Could I catch them? Yes!

I am far too smart
To leave my warm spot just for
Some scrawny sparrow

I heard that sparrows
Taste better in warm weather
So why freeze my toes?

[Barbara]

Karen that's great.
This thread here is so much fun.
The cats love it so.

[RICHARD]

frozen paws make me
pause, I'd rather stay in bed
all day long with you

---------
humans are crazy
they dress up to go outside
to get wet and cold

---------
why can't humans have
xmas spirit all year long?
all of us cats do!

[RICHARD]

why work for scrawny
sparrows? mom will open a
can of food for me!


Wait a second! canned
food? sparrows? i want the good
food that Filou gets.

[Barbara]

put my paws on the
food- not on scrawny sparrows
i'm killing mangoes

cold snow has no food
my dinner comes from foreign
countries like my soul

BTW: Filou only likes mangoes that come ripe from the countries where they are grown -we brought them from South East Asia or Mexico -sorry he's like that

[RICHARD]

filou has gourmet
tastes-mango! salmon! all my
food comes from a can.
----
a cold sparrow snack
doesn't have the same taste as
some of dad's sandwich

[Barbara]

i love both of you
i push my head in his face
and my butt in yours

[RICHARD]

cat rear maybe a
sign of love but i prefer
the end with whiskers

[RICHARD]

is a cat's tail an
independent entity
or his other side?

[RICHARD]

dozing on the bed
my tail keeps time to music
that only i hear
-------
you laugh at my rear
laugh if you want i have seen
you naked before
-------

the tale of my tail
is very simple, let me
explain, it's "THE END"
-------
a manx will never
know the fun of putting their
tail in owner's face
-------
my tail tells a tale
every time i walk up to
you, pay attention!
