Feline
On the savannah or on my knee,
the difference is one of degree.
That resolution of feline will—
the stroke, the purr, the spring, the kill.
Only the size and prey may change—
the speed of spring, the chase’s range.
Stalking over rock or rill
or perched upon the window sill,
large or small or maned or not,
they are exactly as God has wrought.
Wild or domestic, the fact is that
simply put, a cat’s a cat.
Love this poem..but that Lion caught my attention.

Oh I have my cat post written and the photos are ready. As soon as I can be sure that I can post it uninterrupted, I will try to do so.

Do you post from two different sites, Sam? Sometimes I can tell it is you but other times you are anonymous.

No same site, it is Word perfect that decides whether I am ME or “Somebody”. Right now they are back doing what they did to me last October when I was going to “give them the COB”~!. Like a very bad romance that is hard to break, I would like to get rid of them but then may be lonely. Quick get the paper-bag~! Wonder who I will be this time~??

A regal looking cat Judy. I agree a cat is a cat. And the lion looks like a cute cuddly big cat. Thanks for joining in.

I have seen videos of fully-grown lions being cuddly with humans, but don’t think I’d want to test that.
