COOL CAT!
The cat sat on the mat
nobody told her to
she just sat there
'cos that's what cats do.
Nobody showed her
how to dig a hole
or how to catch a mouse.
She just knew what to do.
We speak to her in
English and Swahili
and she answers
with a miaow.
How clever's that?
She's a cool cat!

But if you were brought up by cats, you'd just copy them - you'd be the copycat
ReplyDeleteHi Stan, if you/I was/were brought up by a cat we would probably act like a cat.
ReplyDeleteBut my theory is that cats have an inbuilt sense 'catsense' if you like.
They simply know how to be a cat - a sort of genetic memory, perhaps.
This almost sounds like Dr. Seuss. I like it!

ReplyDeleteA lively upbeat tone in honor of felines. I like how the cat answers back to English or Swahili.
ReplyDeleteMB, you know cats make me smile too..
ReplyDeleteChristine, it's funny how cats seem to understand all languages but always speak their own.
