I have a dog and 2 cats. They don’t sleep on my bed, but the kids let them sleep on theirs. On their adoption anniversary we give them a specially cooked treat (like an omelet with chopped up dog biscuits).
My little dog Louie sleeps in the bed under the covers attached to me like a leech. I would not have it any other way. The cat Scooter sometimes will sleep at the foot of the bed. I do cook special meals for them, mostly chicken and rice. I do buy presents. Louie has clothes but is not crazy about wearing them. My pets are closer than some actual family members.
He’s a budgie boy,
with his budgie toys
They’re plastic
he’s fantastic
I feel so ashamed…
I would never dress up my cat but I’d like to see you try to stop her from sleeping on my bed, given that I live in a studio and that she’s been sleeping on my bed, by my feet, since the same day I brought her home over two years ago. And she’s Siamese. (She never did the hide for three days thing most cats do when brought into a new home. She apparently felt very secure in her choice of me.)
Ahem. I made this one up for Simone, my little starveling pit bull our nephew found wandering the streets, and I liked it so much I wrote it down:
American Pit
(with apologies to Tom Petty)
Well she was an American Pit
Raised on unkept promises
She couldn’t help thinkin’ that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin’, she was gonna find herself
A family
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
You’ll never have to fight
She was an American Pit
It was kind of cold that night
She showed her bones, she’d had nothin’ to eat
As the deadly cars rolled by
She longed for
Someone to pet her
And for one desperate moment there
She almost gave in to defeat
We had made her into
What we fear
But she deserved so much better
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
You’re gonna be all right
She was an American Pit
Good god that’s cute.
Cats in stupid costumes? Check him out. Her too.
