Blogging from A to Z April Challenge 2014 - Letter A

Hello, Old Friends and New and Welcome to

April

and my 3rd year of  blogging in the Challenge. 

I love cats. I can't remember a time when there weren't cats in my life. Sometimes one or two, most times lots more. My husband, Gary, and I seem to be magnets for strays. Consequently, I have many photographs of cats and kittens that resided outside our houses and of those who, by the luck of the draw or paw, made it into the inner sanctum of feline luxury, our home. I have also written poems and stories about cats that I will share for the next 26 days with you. I am also looking forward to visiting your blogs to see what interests you.

A is for Active, Agile, Athletic...

Night Life At Our House

Ralph, who was named Rachael at birth.

When the lights go out at our house,

And the night has settled in,

It’s not the mice that come out to play,

But the cats that make the din.

Night becomes Olympic time,

With all the thumps and bumps

Of slalom runs and toboggan rides

And contests in ski jumps.

You lie awake within the bed,

And listen to the noise.

You begin to wonder who will win,

The girl’s team or the boy’s.

Somewhere close to midnight

The players lose some steam.

But, now they’re fighting under the bed

As you just drift off to dream.

Rachael soon become Ralph when it was evident

When the morning sun comes shining

And you stumble from the bed,

You’ll find the jolly contestants

In the kitchen waiting to be fed.

You rush about to leave for work,

Grouchy from lack of sleep

And notice that your feline friends

Are curled up not making a peep.

Cats are very athletic

And seldom come to harm

They love to be active when the sun goes down

And sleep after they hear your alarm.

Thank you for stopping in and I hope you enjoy my pampered cats.
