As you may have gathered from my poem last month called “A Shakespearean Infatuation”, I’m quite a dog-lover! For the most part, I have to admire them from afar due to allergies, but thanks to the introduction of the poodle mix dogs, I can, on occasion, enjoy the company of a canine friend without consequence!
I’m afraid to say, however, I don’t hold the same fond feelings for their feline counterparts. (Sincerest apologies to the cat-lovers of this world!) I know there are some beautiful and affectionate moggies out there, but sadly, I’ve had too many encounters with the sneaky, unpredictably scratchy types who look like they belong on the lap of a Bond villain to feel at ease around cats.
As a result, if ever I find myself on the receiving end of some feline attention, I’m not slow in politely moving on! It was one such event that inspired my poem, “Big Fat Ginger Cat.” Not surprisingly, this is the very same gent who I mentioned in “A Shakespearean Infatuation.” I felt such a formidable presence was definitely worthy of his own poem as he definitley gives main character energy!
