I Call To My Cat – in an egg timer kind of way
“Twinkle”…….I call my cat she ignores me
“Hey beautiful.” I plead into the dark
She hears me………. I know it
I whistle our food call
Again I am ignored
“Come on girl…….
Come inside”
“Please.”
“Please.”
It’s cold
She is shadows
I am not necessary
“Come on ……..I have food”
I shake the box…..”your favorite”
She smiles in the dark, hidden from me
I need her…………….. more than she needs me

Hello,
I am a married, working mum of two nearly adults and I mostly fill my days, writing, talking, cooking and drinking cocktails. I have a very naughty Border Collie, who keeps me busy.
My Blog is a lighthearted look at life, where I share recipes, stories, ditties and thoughts, kind of like a magazine of my mind and am happy to discuss!
Finally, I LIKE what I like not to be LIKED, so my interest is always genuine

Your poem is a familiar scene in my house. When I feed my cat, he circles around a few times, waits for me to step away, and then chows down. We gotta love our cats.

Love it! my cat always crouched just out of reach if she had managed to escape outside. As she got older she would only go as far as the neighbours path and lie there, easy to see and easy to catch.

The old dog cant hear anymore and we have to touch him to get his attention, the young one only has to see us to come running.

Fun poem. It’s hilarious when pets ignore us. From a bystander’s perspective at least. And it was really cool how you managed to shape this poem so perfectly into an hourglass.
