Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Z is for Zooming
Z is for zooming all around the house,
Chasing dust bunnies or maybe a mouse.
I’m the premier zoomer and also the hunter.
If you get in my way, you’ll find I’m a jumper.
I’ll run up on you and leap over your back,
And you best not try to give me a smack.
I’m not a zebra, and I don’t know Zydeco,
But when it is time to zoom, I go, go, go…
I zigzag about as if I’m psychotic.
Zooming is only fun when it’s chaotic.
My name is Astrid. I am the zoomer.
I’m the Kitty Blue who supplies the humor.

To accompany my poem, I am sharing an old photo and a video. Mom has posted both here before, but you may not have seen them. If you are anything like our mom, however, you may have seen these but forgotten.
Lisbeth and I may no longer be pals, but it never hurts to have reinforcements when pursuing mousies.
To see an example of my excellent zooming skills, you’ll need to wait until the end of this little video. Trust, me it’s worth it! Check out that tongue action before you begin the video.
We are participating in Angel Sammy’s Thoroughly Poetic Thursday. If you couldn’t guess, this week’s prompt letter is “Z.” That means, next week we’ll be starting over again with “A.” To see Sammy’s poem and some of the others, click on his badge.
This is our entry in Brian’s Home Thankful Thursday blog hop as well. We are thankful for the outpouring of love and support for all of us after Fiona’s passing one week ago tonight. Click on Brian’s badge to join this hop.
See you tomorrow for Friendly Fill-Ins.
Purrs and paw-pats, Astrid
What a fun poem, Astrid! And we think your attack skills are more than pro. Way to go! It think there must be something about this gorgeous name, as around here pup Astrid is a wild zoomer. Happy zooming, and purrs to all of you!
Holy moley, that was a fast pounce on the camera!
That was a terrific poem and we’re big fans of zooming here too! That is a sweet photo of you two mousing. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
We laughed right out loud with the Attack, Astrid! You are too funny!
What a funny video. I needed a bit of cheering up for today.

George is the one who gets the zoomies in our house. Every morning, as a rule, and often in the afternoon, too. Cute pictures an video. I need to capture George, too. He runs up the cat tree, walls, and banks turns off the window! ❤
Great poem and super zoomie skills!!! We didn’t expect that ending to the video!

HA! Astrid you certainly “teased” that camera for a long time before giving it the big paw smack! Way to go girl……thanks for pawticipating in my poetic Thursday- you did a wonderful job with it and I shall forever think of you as “Miss Zoomie” of the Kitties Blue pack!
Angel Hugs, Sammy
We all zoom around here at some point or another! Yes, even Binga and Boodie at 16 and 15 years old respectively, still zoom!
You sure are a funy kitty, Astrid! You do provide the smiles:)
That is a fun poem too:)
