The Cat on the Stove
Solitude should be that meddlesome
Magical Nosy Aunty’s voice that sneaks
into your ear which is aching from some
Mean comment from a friend or the toxic
Office, to remind you of that packet of
Forgotten white pasta sauce in the fridge
And that one yellow capsicum and the
Cup of peas with two large tomatoes just
Waiting to turn into the pasta that you could
Cook, only the butter & cream cat has plonked
Down on the kitchen stove, so you decide
To wail your woes to her instead, and the
Gruesome hour vanishes as the cat on the
Stove, certainly does not cook your pasta
For you, no way, but feeds you anyway with
The very expensive unaffordable unending
Well of innocence slathered with its walls
Of tenderness and Zen feasts and buns that only
your maddening cat on the stove can feed you!

Lovely!
Our parents had a big ginger cat who loved to sleep on top of the (very warm) gas boiler.
thank you very much! I love Ginger cats! My friend here had a ginger tom who used to baby sit each and every motherless kitten who came to his shelter!
Wow.
.what a beautiful poem. I’ve been “fed” by my furry friends many times. Each one has a special “food” for the soul. Wonderful..just wonderful.??? . Andrea.
thank you very much Andrea! And yet there are people here who still think that cats are selfish and sly and dangerous!
That’s ok…as long as they’re not hurting them, it leaves more to love for us! ?? And who knows? Maybe for them it’s all about dogs???? They need lots of love too???! Be Blessed and loved. ? Andrea.
thank you, same to you too! daksha
thank you very much!
Ah such a fine sentiment and much truth in that. Surely the ready meal was created by cats for cats to enjoy more cuddle time?

Nothing is ‘sacred’ to a cat. Unless it is their own place!
and of course everything is their place!
and of course everything in the house is their place!
Exactly. I ‘forgot’ and placed my book down on top of a blanket yesterday. The cat was hiding inside and was extremely offended with me! She left in a snit and hasn’t returned to visit me (except to get her wet snack.).
mine choose the sink where I need to brush my teeth and the microwave too often!
cat on a gas stove. That’s a new and unique one. She didn’t get burned did she?
No. She generally prefers to squash the plants in the garden. This was a very rare spell which lasted two whole days and then vanished! Since she would not cook for me, she did not get burned!
Glad of that. That was a site to see a cat on a cat stove. LOL
daily heart attacks with cats! what is new?!
>””<
weird she hasn’t done it again. she is just furious about the little kitten who has come from a market and is busy whining about that
I remember when we brought Daisy Mae in the house with Tigger, she wasn’t happy. Had to put a screen door up to separate the 2 for a while.
Sounds like kitty is learning. LOL
yes she is!
Cats are smart.

You give this place a lot of attention, so I’m going to make it mine. Computers, books, stoves.
