Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for October 30, 2020

Now get up and put out something for me to eat and I will sniff at it and walk away.

So loud that out of bed you’ll leap.

If you do not heed my cries, I’ll swat you on your eyes.

Wow, looks like everyone here has had the cat experience!

If it was only about a bowl… My cat wakes me up because. He needs companionship. Not even to be petted. Because.

How aMEOWzing.

Un-ass my bed, please, do it now

Else, you see, I’ll have a cow

Do not wake me, I implore

Or I will show you to the door

You’ll be fed when I get up

Want to be fed to the pup?

Omigawd: 4:30 EVERY morning. . .and the clocks change tomorrow. . .groan

Has Aunty been fired by Ged? Is this now Liverpool Tabbies?

Kitties prefer shallow plates. Deep bowls bother their whiskers.

Then I’ll walk all over you face.

Amy Cat showed up in our yard in the summer of 2005. In February of 2006 she finally allowed me to touch her. https://live.staticflickr.com/7701/17084120159_81c03aba75_c.jpg that’s moments after that first touch. As I type this she’s napping in her padded box on a table within reach.

Cute poem! I hope not sacrilegious.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

A bag of peanuts at my feet.

If I should die before I wake,

Give them to my brother, Jake.

(At least, that’s the first place I ever came across it)

And, if you do not Wake, I will eat your corpse.

So that’s what Sebastian says before he goes to sleep and wakes me up 5 minutes before the alarm goes off!!!!!!!

Love it – lost my beautiful Cyrena a couple months ago. I miss the wake-ups now.
