Have you ever had a cat touch it’s nose to your pencil as you write?
To gently push and force the page adjoining
Rattle ever so gently
In order to push aside, then rub her head on a corner
Stepping around in a tactful way
To lie down just aside the binding
Jolting as if to pounce
From your page it flies
Only to walk up your leg and
Chew on your eraser.

Ah, sweet Miss Kitty. You were far more generous with your invitations to her being on your desk and work things than I am. (Even though I know Jazzy – and others from my past – all helped themselves to desk strolls in my absence.) 🙂
How are you doing?

Diane, Thank you for this post .My mother in law’s cat is named Miss Kitty. My mother in law never had a pet until she found this kitten in a field in s.w. Georgia.. She doted on that cat & brought her here when she visited. Miss Kitty lives with my daughter now & gets along with Rasputin her 22 yr. old cat.I hope this winter has been pleasant & you are fully recovered by now.
God luck, Joe
