Raining cats & dogs here today, so I’m just having a little fun. Took this out of a short story I wrote a while back. The story is called “Cool as in Cat“, and if you’d like, you can read it by clicking on the title.  Be cool, y’all!

You Talkin’ ta Me?

 

They call me “Cool”             

I try to live up to the name

They got a butt-load of cats

Beats me how they remember

Which cat is called what

 

                                       But, hey, I’m cool with that

                                      They always get my name right

                                      And the food dish is always full

 

Yep, I’m “Cool”, as in cool cat

Caught in the act!

I just stay mellow

Roll with the punches

If you know what I mean

Lay around the house

Lick my paws a lot

 

One of ‘em calls me

I just give ‘em “the look”

giggle

You’ve seen it

Stop in mid-lick

Narrow the eyes

Still watching you

Go back to licking

 

You talkin’ ta me?
