The Offering
My cat surprised me with a gift
but I must say, I’m rather miffed
with the hairball that she left––
(those locks of which she’s now bereft.)
Was this donation made by chance,
or was it planned far in advance?
Did she commence her furry tearing
with the intent that she’d be sharing?
I wonder if she formed that ball
with any future plans at all
to heave it out upon the chest
of one I thought that she loved best?
Oh that she could communicate
whether it was love or hate
that prompted this hair artistry
produced and then coughed up on me!
The SOCS prompt is to close eyes, open book, point to word, open eyes and use the word as a prompt, so here goes. The prompt word that suppllied itself was “Surprised.”

The only thing I don’t miss about having a cat! But I REALLY miss having a cat!

Mine just woke me up at 6 a.m. to convince me to come feed them, but yes, I’d miss not having them, too.

Maya presents us with her ‘gonk’ (a tube designed for toothpaste but her treats fit nicely inside) or a ball hen she wants some attention!

Cats are a special kind of something. We had one who was plagued by fur balls — I ended up feeding her four micro-meals a day to improve her digestion. It was a lot. 😳

Ha! Don’t I know it! Mine make sure to do it on the antique Bukharian rug I inherited from grandparents.
