I've got a cat named Aska,
It was a grandson who brought
It was with devil's power,
lion - a spinning top.
She denied treats and affection
and threatening all, she growled,
We did not know how to get her,
It dwindled away - do not!
We decided to play a cat game
She spinned as a whirligig
Folly was spent by that play
and now we are - family!
She is the best devotee,
She became an editor for me
I write now, and she is murring -
It happens only in dream.

Oh, the wonder of our pets! Their lives run parallel to ours in the most satisfying way.In English now some of us have dropped the word PET and we call them COMPANION ANIMALS, which shows respect for their being. Aska was wary of joining the human circle but you won her over by your kindness, playfulness, patience. And now like many writers you have a cat to be the FIRST CRITIC of your creative writing. How reassuring.
