up …. down …. upside down …
running … chasing … watching …
sleeping sixteen hours
a day!

purring … cuddling … grooming …
adored … beloved … worshipped …
offerings on the doorstep
no way!

hunting … hunted … haunting …
fearless … dauntless … hapless …
never owned yet owning
their day!

curious … spontaneous … impetuous …
inside … outside … fireside …
in our homes and hearts
to stay!

dedicated to Jasmine, Tobias, Tony, Salem, Calypso, Athena, and Addison
