    Cat Lover's Prayer

    A friend sent me the following poem that I think a lot of us can relate to:

    Cat Lover's Prayer

    Because I'm only human,
    It's sometimes hard to be
    The wise, all-knowing creature
    That my cat expects of me.

    And so I pray for special help
    To somehow understand
    The subtle implications
    Of each proud meowed command.

    Oh, let me not forget that chairs
    Were put on earth to shred;
    And what I like to call a lap
    Is actually a bed.

    I know it's really lots to ask
    But please, oh please, take pity;
    And though I'm only human,
    Make me worthy of my kitty!


    I thought it was true and very sweet. Do any of you know who wrote it?
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    That's so cute Amberlee.

    I have no idea who wrote it, but it's an adorable poem, and I'd have to agree - I hope I'm worthy.

    AWWWWWWW!!! Thanks for posting.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
