Sort of a Cats 22 situation

Schrödinger’s cat –

whose name, by the way, was Milo –

was put into an unenviable situation.

Schrödinger really shouldn’t

have put Milo into a box.

How Schrödinger would have complained

if a cat had put him into a box;

but, it probably would have been

a cardboard box.

As the cow flies

Beware, as the cow flies,

keep watch, observe the skies,

carry an umbrella,

protect your eyes.

.

That’s not a barrage balloon,

it’s a aeronautical creature

aiming for the Moon.

.

Wearing a jumper

to keep out the cold,

a space-bound cow

is something to behold.

.

And if a cow

should jump over the Moon,

who would have the last laugh,

cat, boy, fiddle, dish, or spoon?

Another 10 minutes in bed

With a dog by my side,

and as my cat licks my head,

I guess it’s safe to say,

‘Another 10 minutes in bed!’

Polly (3)

One day, last July,

Polly put the kettle on –

it didn’t suit her.

Polly

Polly once asked me,

‘Shall I put the kettle on?’

I do miss that cat.

An gath a wor (the cat knows)

Cats always know. A phrase designed to cause controversy?

Cats know lots of things, obviously one can learn a lot in nine lives;

even though cats, on average,

would seem to get through a life

every couple of years or so,

they rack up the knowledge

that is relevant to a cat.

I’ve never seen a cat

on Mastermind,

but I think that

watching a cat looking smug

in a black chair for two minutes…

‘Well, I’ve started my snooze,

so I’ll finish!’

Where would it all end?

The cat the rat and the acrobat

‘Rat-a-tat-tat!’ said the cat.

.

‘Are you calling me tatty?’ asked Ratty.

.

‘No. I just want to come in.’ replied Cat.

.

‘And once you’re in, you’ll want to go out.’ added Ratty.

.

‘Yes.’ affirmed the cat. ‘It’s what I do.’

.

Ratty opened the door. Cat came in. Ratty closed the door.

.

‘I’ll just wait here by the door then, shall I?’ asked Ratty, dryly.

.

‘If you would.’ purred Cat. And to herself, ‘It’s so nice having servants.’

.

Ratty’s eyes followed the retreating Cat.

.

The acrobat just listened and silently watched, whilst hanging upside down from a beam.

I wandered lonely

I wandered lonely

as a cat,

going here and there,

doing this and that,

when all at once

I foresaw a nap –

after all,

I am a cat.

A dog (or a cow)

I drew a picture of a dog…

or a cow;

and, now,

I don’t know whether

it will squeak or miaow.

There once was a cat name of Sophie,

who entered a race, won a trophy;

she was fast on her feet,

all the others did beat—
