Simply a masterpiece. Can't express the joy of reading this poem. Cats sitting in front of your grandpa on a semi-circular mat doing all kinds of amusing things, described in graphic details, is a real treat to all animal lovers and to all readers of this poem. Thank you, Geeta ji. This is immaculate. Surrounded by over twenty cats and kittens! Their voice loud and demanding, Mewing together like a chorus of Sopranos!
Twenty! Yikes! Often just the one cat at a time in our home has tried my patience. We had one cat who was loquacious—she usually sounded like she was complaining. She was ailing in her last days and, as with our other cats when they’ve been sick, I couldn’t help feeling compassion for her. She is the focus of my poems Remembering Sox and Like Her Regal Cousins. -Glen
a wonderful descriptive poem of a time with your grandpa and his cats........................well written Geeta.
It would definitely be an exciting experience to be with your grand father, but I am sure you must have been rather annoyed and amused at the same time seeing a dozen cats surrounding him around his break fast table. Some people are so fond of cats.....! I too love cats, but will never think of keeping too many! I can visualize the whole scene! Interesting read!
Wondering dinning with many cat's around your grandpa, Nice to read, really enjoyed, full vote.thanks.
Yes, Ram! This scene of my Grandpa with several cats is a memory that remains clearly etched in my mind. My grandfather loved all beings equally, be it a human or an animal. i remember too, your poem on cats. So happy that you enjoyed this poem.Thanks!
