I almost caught a mouse, it was faster than me
I nearly caught a bird, but it flew up a tree
I amost lost a life, but I still have 5 to spare
Four are aleady gone, but I do not care
I ‘m not quickest feline, the neighbour’s cat is faster
He chased me up the path, it was almost a disaster
I will not be second best, and always am the first
At sleeping I am perfect, if you wake me up you’re cursed
I almost slept 20 hours, but heard the sound of a dish
I woke up in a second to get my tuna fish
Of one thing I am sure, I must always get my rest
And then I am no longer almost, but am the perfect best.
The Cat Chronicles 
Thanks for reminding my human of fish
Left in the pantry, yesterday in a dish
You’ll always be first in my canine heart
But I know if we met, I’d give you a start.
I’m big, black and barky, it is how I am
It’s best we keep writing or we’ll be in a jam.
Yours forever and ever, Dusty T. Dog
Hi Tabby, Martha here. The thing is, I ran out of dog food and had to supplement Bear’s kibble with tuna yesterday morning. Just so you know. Yr pal, Martha

Did you see that, your human forgot
to supply you with food, oh, what a bad lot
But where there is tuna, there is always a way
so tell me your problems, and we will have our say
I am Tabby and delicate, but am the chief of this joint
I say it loud in telepathy, and always make my point
Tabby T. Cat
Meow Martha, I hope you have profusely and in detail apologised to Dusty – on your knees of course. and tuna supplement is second best, Dusty deserves pure tuna. Even dogs have their canine rights.

I’ve read through a few of your more recent posts and they definitely make me laugh. I like the style of your cat blog very much ❤

Thanks for looking in and reading Tabby’s works of literature, she is pleased. Actually Tabby writes it from her point of view of the world, I just have to write it due to the lack of opposable thumbs. I am now following your blog. Perhaps I can show her that she is not the only feline in the world.

I love this poem Tabby. You should write more poems. You apparently don’t win the debate with your owner. I have a cat named, Daisy, Tabby. She has the same color on her back that you do, but her stomach is white and she has orange markings in some spots too.

I am the owner, Mrs. Human is my slave, but sometimes she gets her own ideas which i must control. We were four in the litter and each one of us had a different colour. It seems that mum couldn’t make up her mind that memorable evening on the rooftop

Tabby, I have a bumper sticker for you (and for my cat Lucy, who abhors wheeled vehicles). Will Wake for Tuna. Happy New Year to you and your family, feline and otherwise.

Sounds good. I had a very original sticker „Tabby First“, but a human stole the idea. Wishing the cat that owns you also a meowy new year
