BEWARE: SUMO CAT

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday on Friday

We missed Angel Sammy and Teddy’s poetry challenge yesterday due to our #RememberMeThursday post. But I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to write a poem about this photo.

 

 

You may think I dressed Cooper Murphy especially for use in this photo and poem. But he actually is a practiced Sumo wrestler and well known by Sumo cats everywhere.

Beware: Sumo Cat

You can’t intimidate me
You huge, chunky fellow.
I don’t care that you’re as big as a tree.
I may be a little, but I’m mighty,
And I have my super sidekick—sumo cat!
He’s gonna trip you—throw you to the mat.
Then he’ll make biscuits on your jelly belly
Until you cry, “uncle,” and finally admit:
That one’s size isn’t what matters…
It’s one’s determination and grit!

Check out Two Spoiled Cats for next week’s inspiration photo by clicking on the poetry badge. When you visit, please take time to read Angel Sammy’s poem. He transmits it to Teddy from the Bridge. He’s a masterful wordsmith, and this week’s poem should give you a good chuckle!

 

Friendly Fill-Ins

For the first time in weeks I managed to complete all the fill-ins without any assistance from Kitties Blue. They were pretty easy this week. As I always do, I used teal italics for my fill-ins.

1. Babies should come with instructions.

2. And just like that it’s fall, and Christmas is just around the corner.

3. I get funny looks from others when I tell them I have nine cats.

4. I once tried to water ski, and I failed.

 

 

Feline/Friendship Friday

I cannot think of a better way to end a post than with a napping kitten showing off some pretty spectacular toe beans.
