TOP - "Like a Cowbird"

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!

  1. But if you were brought up by cats, you'd just copy them - you'd be the copycat

  2. Hi Stan, if you/I was/were brought up by a cat we would probably act like a cat.
    But 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.

  8. A lively upbeat tone in honor of felines. I like how the cat answers back to English or Swahili.

    Christine, it's funny how cats seem to understand all languages but always speak their own.
