these cats
olive and rose
really have it made
a modern kitty headquarters
custom-designed and gifted from grandies
a special stash of catnip
gifted from those who cared for rose
no jobs, appointments, chores, errands, meetings, or responsibilities at all
a gift from mother nature.
“listen, don’t forget this.
don’t let this slip your mind.
most of us, if we’re lucky,
we see a few seconds of the high life.
and the rest are the residue years.”

this sweet and treasured tiger
now has its own mask

why, you might ask, is this large ceramic cat sitting in the water?
while visiting my friend’s house
i asked.
years ago
someone in the family took a ceramics class
made several large animals
gifted them to his children
who gifted them to each other
left them at each others’ houses
used them in a variety of ways
including an outdoor towel holder
somehow over time
this one went to live in the water
looking back at the family on the shore
probably thinking the family was unusual
wondering their story
there is always a story.

“we are not interested in the unusual, but in the usual seen unusually.”

this guy may or may not be of scandinavian heritage
but he is definitely befuddled
and would utter the perfect comment, ‘uff da’ if he could.
