Why There Are Cats

why there are cats, I think I know
Cat's are all the things left over from the making of man
something had to be able to see better in the pitched dark
it would never do for man to have a tongues that is barbed
can you imagine a man leaping into the air with no care
and misplaced arrogance, to their beloved lady fair
a voice that could make one's hair stand on air
what if man had to lick his hair,  the way cats  lick fur
how much would he accomplish in any day
if he spent the hours preening and shaping his claws
or lost hours of a day whiled away in cat naps in warm soft  lap
or chasing feathered or fur bearing smaller creatures
yes I think I know why there are cats
to remind us of all the things we are not

What, I say what in the creation of cats?
Hehe, well cats can be lovers of self, granted, but then there is one breed that are more like a dog. Egytian Mau's and we had one, he was a gem.
Pretty neat write Cheryl, quite ingenius.

A very memorable poem. I am very glad I clicked the link and didn't miss it! As someone who loves cats, I know exactly what you mean. Wouldn't it be great to just leap up onto a wall, as cats do?! Cats have inspired a lot of great poems over the years, and this is certainly one of them.

I have had occasion to be chastised for my alleged hatred of the feline persuasion. Let me take this opportunity to clear this up.
I love cats.
They taste like chicken.

100 Points,

Unique,i.e.Why Cats Here Really To Piss All Over Your Cars, House Doors,(Rather Smell Dead Bodies In Army),etc. I Dispise Them, But, Moreso There Owners Who Put Them Out Into Streets AreThe Real Animals_

Believe It: Street Cats Carry More Disease Than Rats, Why, Cats Are Sneaky Go Everywhere_ Rats Follow A Pattern In Place,i.e. Think Real Hard About It! Clean Rats Even Make Better Pets For those Fond Of Animals!

I used to be a cat, a hip cat, a cool cat, a scat cat, an alley cat, but after all the wear and tear over the years I've ended up a pussy cat.
