the cat is curled

Had a cat in the title, of course I had to stop in and check it out! Do the red, green, orange, and gold have significance, or was it used to re-enforce the image? ~Jess K. ----------------------- "Why worry? There should be laughter after pain.

The cat dragged me in, lol, and I stayed for the last line. I like the contrast. Always, Cat

Can't keep cats anymore [allergy, not mine] ... though I don't suppose one ever does keep cats do they? Cats choose. I've had two pairs: This and That who both hated snow so much they would hop across the snow-covered garden in such a way that only one paw was in contact with the snow at any time. The second two [Topsy and Turvy] were feral cats whose mother had been killed for taking chickens. They were fiercely independent, but also incredibly loyal. Topsy was stolen, but returned bedraggled and with his neck badly scarred where he had tried to remove the collar his thieves had attached. No wonder! They had a name-tag - Poppet!! - Topsy was nobody's poppet, though he did enjoy my lap. And his snores blended beautifully with mine. I look down. No cat ... bereft!
