Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Once again Mauricio has taken paw to paper to write a poem for Teddy and Angel Sammy’s Thoroughly Poetic Thursday. Our prompt letter for this week is “T.”
Tuxedo Cats
I have a tuxedo. I’m decked out in white and black.
Thankfully I don’t wear a top hat, as I’m a cat.
My formal wear goes from my ears to my toes.
While some cats have white spats, I have pantyhose.
If you’re a feline with more white than black,
Some may unwittingly call you a cow cat.
But I consider those white furs a dinner jacket.
You’re just as formal as I am; they need glasses.
Unless, of course, you like to wallow in the dirt
And scuff up that fine, pristine tuxedo shirt.
Then someone may think you really are a cow.
If that happens, you must let out a loud meow
To let them know you’re wearing special furs.
And once you’re clean they’ll know for sure,
You’re a proud and stunning cat in formal wear
Ready for a quiet day of napping or a fancy affair.
But whatever your color and type of furs,
You are special and should be proud of what’s yours!

Thankful Thursday
We mentioned after the Cat Scouts Cardwood Derby that Denmaster would be sending Mau and Cooper Murphy a special prize, called Hooligan in a Can. The boys and I thought this was a joke, so we were surprised when a package arrived. And there it was, sporting a Cooper Murphy-like orange kitty on it’s label.
If you enjoy pranks and shenanigans, you’ll be clapping your paws in delight for Hooligan in a Can. Here’s what you’ll find inside:
- Premium Catnip Toys, Silvervine, Valerian and Cat Treats to Get Your Cat High
- Everything your hooligan cat needs for a night of shenanigans!
- Euphoria-inducing catnip, Silver Vine and Valerian Root takes your cat to her Happy Place
- Premium interactive cat toys (including the Red Dot game with 3 extra batteries) offer special appeal!
- Got the munchies? Two packs of premium cat treats have gotcha covered.
Though this was a gift for Mau and Cooper Murphy, Kitties Blue all share and are thankful to Denmaster for this cool gift. Mauricio is working on a poem for Denmaster to express his gratitude. Sometimes he just can’t help himself when it comes to writing in rhyme.

Mauricio, you are so gorgeous!!! You have great markings that are your and yours alone! My markings are different. Some of my white on my back foot gets mixed up with the black, and I do have some little black freckles on a couple feet. Mom says she loves me. In fact, she loves all Tuxedos. Rather……….I should say………..she loves all cats!!!
Giant purrs……….Hemingway

Mauricio, you sure are a purrfect poet! You make this human here feel inspired to write poetry, despite her total lack of skill at it. Now, excuse us while we go research how to get ourselves some Hooligan in a Can. Purrs!
Great poem, awesome gift!!!
Mauricio you are indeed a most handsome tuxedo cat! You celebrated your handsome tux “clothes” so well in your poem for “T” and as always we’re happy you enjoy poetic Thursdays with us! That Hooligan In A Can is absolutely WAY COOL – it was a nice gift for you to celebrate your wonderful Derby entry the Hooligan Wagon! Happy Thursday my friend………
Love, Angel Sam and Teddy too
I love your poem, Mau – tuxedo cats are truly dignified!
We have not thought of you as a cow, Mau!
But sometimes petcretary calls dog-guy a cow…cause he goes and munches on grass. Sheesh!
Cool things you got in your shenanigans tin.
Thank is quite a poem…and quite a haul, too! Hugs!
