Rocky and Balboa

We recently were blessed to receive two male kittens from the local Pet Rescue Shelter. It's been so much fun to watch them grow and play. We named them Rocky and Balboa, and they live up to their names!


Poem Artwork

 Rocky is the white "Alfa-Cat"

He likes to explore everywhere 

While Balboa fly’s around like a bat

throughout the house and in the air 

 

They usually fight during the day

Rocky Wacks BB with his paws

Balboa does not back down 

He Wacks Rocky right back 

with jump and a playful attack

Then Rocky calls for time-out

then there is a slight pause...

 

Balboa takes his time and walks around

Rocky then approaches him without a sound

Balboa fly’s high and he pounces Rocky good

Rocky does not go down, he's as stiff as wood

 

Then Rocky hits Balboa with a paw on his ear

Balboa Wacks him back, you can sense his fear

Rocky goes in with a right, left and another right

Balboa takes off flying, he gives up the fight!

 

They both live to fight another day

It's the way they like to exercise

and it's the way they like to play!

thanks for this one John
I love cats but my wife will not allow me one
she's allergic to them, so we settle for several beautiful Dogs one at a time, my last one was Rocky a 120 lbs. Rottie big Baby, loved kids never growled not snapped at anyone, my grand kids abused the hell out of him and never a whimper, but God forbid or help anyone approaching my grand kids ...... your cats are beautiful beyond description........
Peace be with you

Very creative. With a pair of boxers like that in the household you never have to turn on the fights and pay for view anymore.

Adorable write! Our pets are like our kids. After my Big Boy Pride's passing, one of my daughter's kitties suddenly showers my with lots of attention. Somehow I feel like she has "adopted" me to be her mommy.
