Daily Feline Prompt: The Stubborn Feline

Tabby

Felines are not stubborn
We are very nice to know
Just remember I’m the boss
Or you will have to go

I sleep most of the day
It is my own choice
I don’t care what you say
Important is my voice

My wish is your command
And I will stamp my paw
To enforce all my demands
I will purr down the law

I want a dish of tuna
At once, be very quick
I can also get quite hissy
If I do not get my lick

A tickle on my tummy
That is now my wish
I don’t care if you are busy
I want tuna in my dish

Humans need more training
Their life revolves around me
My comfort is important
That is definitely to see

There is a moral to this ditty
Listen to my meows
I have trained my Mrs. Human
to greet with many bows

I do my best to please her
she understands my whim
I have trained her very well
And now she is quite trim

Good training is important to proper socialization. Keep up the good work, Tabby!

Dear Tabby,
I barked my head off
My human got mad
I came in the house
She said I was bad.

“I’m sick of your barking”
She said it quite clear
Her face was scowling
No smile ear to ear.

My job is protection
And only I know
My job is not easy
I don’t bark for show.

I wish she would say
“Dusty, you’re great!
You bark and you save us
From the foe at the gate!”

But that’s now how it works
She scolds me instead
I put my tail twixt my legs
And bow low my head.

Yours forever and ever in celebratory catteral and doggerel!
Dusty T. Dog

I don’t know whose poetry I liked best: Tabby’s, Mrs Human’s or Martha’s? Oh, silly thought, Tabby. Yours, of course!
