growing up with 30 cats <br />purring tails and <br />feline grins <br />tongues like sandpaper <br />toying with tuna cans <br />sipping cream <br />nobody knew about catnip <br />more about fish and clams <br />sardines and metal cans <br />banging with a spoon <br />on the salty meat <br />cats came a runnin' <br />with exuberant feet <br />chasing mice and <br />running wild <br />a life of bookcase cats <br />so mild <br />intellectual ones <br />reading the books <br />and newspapers <br />like elderly gentlemen <br />and lady cats <br />with umbrellas <br />only to find <br />sardine cans <br />and fish bones <br />near litter boxes <br />and cat toys <br />and be careful <br />of little kittens <br />running up and down <br />pant legs<br /><br />Kevin Rottweiler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cats-kittens-of-childhood/
