WEST TEXAS AFTERNOON Big, black clouds driftin’ A sad, dark day Hot wind a blowin’ Gonna rain, they say Critters is all nervous Oh! What’s that I hear? Man! That’s the thunder! It’s soundin’ awful near Hey! There’s lightenin’ aflashin’ Run! Hurry! Get inside. We hate this kinda weather, Quick! Under the bed, Hide! By Otis |
We are purroud to present our first literary work by the inimitable Otis. Pictures
to accompany this poem from Lady Blue. |
WE PRAY FOR THE CAT Hear our prayer for our feline friend, Filled with hope and care and love. For this a prayer of concern we send Straight to our Lord above. WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That comes when we call That greets us at the door That gazes at us with big wide eyes That has a favorite toy WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That has no one to go to That stares silently out of a cage That refuses to make eye contact That has no toys to play with WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That teases the dog That lies on our feet That turns up a nose at pricey food That gives us sweet sandy kisses WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That has never known companionship That sleeps wherever they can That has not eaten for days That bites in pure panic driven defense WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That stretches out in a sunbeam That nibbles on our toes That hates having nails trimmed That sleeps near our head WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That shivers in the cold That cowers in terror That has never been to the vets That has no home WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That claims ownership of our lap That knocks papers off of the table That meows loudly at dinnertime That brings such joy to our day WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That lives only to give birth That has nothing to look forward to That must forage for food That may never hear a kind word WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That looks for us if we leave the room That hides for the thrill of a sneak attack That climbs up the curtains That loves us no matter how grumpy we are WE PRAY FOR THE CAT That has eyes that reflect pain and fear That hides in alleys That climbs to escape danger That has never known love We pray for cats that leap in play and those that run because of fright For those that stay out of trust and those that try until they break For those we never give up on and those that don't get a second Chance Embrace these tiny and not so tiny ones Guard them Protect them And grant them a peace that only we as humans can deny them Amen Vonnie Matheny |
Both of these kitties got scared by the storm! One selected the file cabinet
and the other chose the dryer! Texas thunderstorms can be quite fierce! |
LITERARY CATS |
Here mew will find fine literary works from the memfurs of Lone Star Felines.
Enjoy! We have moved our Rainbow Bridge section to a new page LSF Rainbow Bridge Tributes. Purrlease visit! |
Vonnie wrote this beautiful poem and dedicated it to a little grey tabby kitty that
was run over by a car in front of her house. We have dedicated it also
to Sebastian Pyewackle, who is a little kitty who is beating the odds. Sebastian
Pyewackle has some problems with his legs, but he is a Miracle Kitty,
and is making excellent progress. He is now an Honorary Texan! We of
LSF dedicate this poem to the little grey tabby and to Sebastian Pyewackle, both
very special kitties and dear to our hearts. |
To honor our Furriends, Brofurs & Sisfurs who have crossed The Rainbow Bridge, we have created a special page dedicated to them. They will be in our hearts
forever. Click on the Rainbow Bridge above to visit. |

What Is A Cat? Gentle eyes that see so much, paws that have the quiet touch. Purrs to signal "all is well" and show more love than words can tell. Graceful movements touched with pride, a calming presence by our side. A friendship that will last and grow, small wonder why we love them so. by Anonymous (if mew wrote this, let us know so we can give mew credit) |
