This is a poem I wrote for Lynettea. She sent it to the Flippy cats' web site for me and I have it there on my page.
My human thinks I’m a dog.
I meow.
My human thinks I’m a dog.
I hide.
My human thinks I’m a dog.
I yowl.
This morning when I wake
I purr.
My Human
My human thinks I’m a dog.
I stare through the picket fence,
watch dogs trotting on leads,
snuffling at the pavement,
obedient, obsequious.
I meow.
My human thinks I’m a dog.
She walks me on a harness.
She says the red colour
shows off my green eyes,
complements my blue-grey fur.
I hide.
My human thinks I’m a dog.
I climb trees; she pulls me down.
I chase birds; she tugs the lead.
I crunch grasshoppers; she frowns.
I bolt home; she says ‘sit’.
I yowl.
This morning when I wake
she grooms me with a brush,
strokes me, exclaims
‘there are rainbows in your fur.
You are my lovely cat’.
I purr.

That is a photo of my little friend Abbie. I was feeling her woolly fur. I haven't seen her for a long time, but Lynettea tells me she hasn't grown a lot.

sometimes I´am very amused about the translation in google. It is not able to translate specifically words and also the text has another meaning. For your help I will try to write my posts also in english. Is this OK? But sometimes I can´t do that with the best will, because it lost the joke of the word, you understand me?
Kind regards from vienna ;-)
In response to your comment: the orange thing I was wearing was stretchy fabric but admittedly, I didn't like it much either so I made the human take it off after five seconds! Hence only one armband :-) xx
Poorly your sugestions for a better cat life don´t work in the wet and cold climate of Hanover. We know Lemon grass but we can get it here only as spice for cooking. It was always cut in small pieces. And the lizzards need more sun. So we have only the frogs and pond efts for hunting.
If we looking at your picture it seems to be impossible to mistake you with a dog. But we understand your frustration about the disrespect of your feline rights.
