“Man’s Best Friend”
by Vivian K. Perry
My master and I are best buddies
time together we do love to share
I have proven my “dogged” affection
For a cat, I am told, that is rare
So it gives me great pleasure to flaunt it,
how I’ll follow behind my fine friend,
stay with him as long as I’m needed, then…
…make a bed of his shorts at day’s end.

Awesome! It’s so nice to find people who believe, like I do, that cats can be man’s, er, humanity’s, best friends, just like dogs can. 🙂

Cats will never replace dogs, but your cat might. What a character!

Do you have any cats?

Not at the moment. I’ve had them most of my life, though. Had 3 at one time. My most beloved one passed a few years ago. I’m still not over her! And then we got a dog. I will have a cat again, just haven’t gotten around to it, I guess. You have two, correct?

Oh gosh, you mentioned losing your kitty in a comment before, didn’t you? So sorry, Kelly. Yes I have two, and like you, I’ve had a cat or two around most of my life. Viv, however, is the smartest and most personable one I’ve ever known. She’s going to be extremely hard to say goodbye to (unless I go first lol).

That’s the only trouble with pets, isn’t it? It’s just like losing a person too soon!

That’s the price we pay for letting them in our hearts. 😔

It must be all that effort they put in that makes them such masters at it, I guess.
