Let The Water Drip
Rolling Sleep Out Of My Left Eye
Our cat Charlotte insisted I get up
She jumped over our heads on our bed
Quickly nudging me with her nose
As I pay no attention
Persistent as she is
She soon began to nibble lightly at my fingers
At this point
I realized how good she was
Forcing my hand
I had to play
She wouldn't let me fold
Once up she would follow under my feet
She would stop at nothing
I checked her food and water
Everything is fine
I looked out our kitchen slider
All I could see and hear
Was that water drip
Charlotte now racing back and forth
i think she wanted to tell me something
I am not going to open the slider
It is raining outside
As I continued to back away
Charlotte once again made me notice
I pulled out a chair
Next to my laptop
Where i typed these very words
Only to see our Charlotte lay down
Working real hard to make herself nice and comfy
Within two minutes she is sound asleep
With my eyes still half-closed
I barely can see what I am doing
As I type a few more lines
Pulling a loose eyelash out
The ground and deck all wet
I am happier than ever
To be inside and dry
I have been played and taken advantage of
Charlotte got her way
A little after six-thirty in the morning
Charlotte made me wake up
Like it or not
Yawning we will go
Hello to all you early risers
How do you do it?
Going to bed before nine every night
Just to begin earlier
While so many people are sleeping and dreaming
You start your day

BRENDA ARLEDGE They certainly have a mind of their own. We might be the owners I think they are the our masters. Every day can be a little different and full of surprises. Do you have any pets? Some people love dogs. I have always had a cat. It is funny how it works out. Lots of rain here for the past three days. I hope your day goes well. Thank you for reading and sharing.

Kittys are wonderful.

Gypsy Rose Lee Silky brought a real lot of activity your way. You are a Foster mother for her and all her babies. Now that is a story to tell. Even if they will leave soon. They left a lasting impression of love. All animals have their charm. Charlotte sleeps during the day to drive us crazy at night. I hope you are doing well. Now that the Pandemic is over we can get back to normal. No masks are needed here. Both my wife and I are vaccinated. It was extremely hot in the kitchen with a mask on.Freedom and it is good to breathe just fresh air.

Charlotte is a very smart cat and knows how to get her way. Hey. my cat problems are over, My friends' cat Silky came up and chose my closet to give birth, She gave birth to five kittens all black and one gray, I now have six cats with me. The kttens came in the same closet in which their mother Silky was born a bit over two years ago, They came into this world on July 3 so they will be with me for some time still, No way yet of knowing which is male or female and they are all so cute,
