Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful there are now presents under my Christmas tree!  Tomorrow is my Gotcha Day and Mom promises that she has a present for me!

My Cat

My cat walks slowly through the house,

measuring each step,

examining the nooks and crannys,

and I can almost visualize,

the crown of diamonds on her head,

the purple velvet cape

trimmed with ermine

trailing behind her.

When I call her name,

she lifts her tail

in acknowledgment,

telling me she heard me

but continuing her noble walk.

When she naps on my chest

and gives me a lick,

I feel privileged indeed

to share my life

with a cat.
