PRECIOUS PRINCE PUMPKIN
Gorgeous golden and white markings
Striped tail, forever moving,
Expressive huge brown-gold eyes.
Mr. Whiskers, white and l-o-n-g —–
Vocal, handsome, sweet, loving
When he wants petting,
Or breakfast.
Adopted at 8, now 16
Brother Coo died at 12.
Pumpkin adores being the only cat,
But misses his companion-buddy.
Memories still sadden me,
So sweet Pumpkin is spoiled.
Likes attention and playing,
On his terms and time.
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Punkin, Punky,
His loud mee-ow
Wakes the soundest sleeper.
When he is fed,
Then he sleeps-
All morning, afternoon,
Evening and all night too!
“Cats sleep a lot,” they say.
Yes, they do.
Pumpkin proves that fact
Is very true!
PUMPKIN
Moved with us from Arizona to Florida.When he died at eighteen. I thought my world would end. Sadness filled my whole being, just as when Coo left.
Auburn gave me two kittens about three months after Pumpkin died. In retrospect, I should’ve waited and grieved longer. Live and learn? Whoever said that made a mistake.
Skimbleshanks, whose name has been shortened to Kymbl, has Pumpkin’s coloring. They could’ve been brothers. Kymbl has Coo’s sweet disposition, and I have another lap cat.
Fozzie is all black with enormous green eyes. He would eat all the time, if we let the food there constantly. He wakes me up between 4:00 and 5:00 AM. Both of them like to eat every six hours. So, numb skull here, feeds them every six hours. Not sure how long that’ll continue.
Fozzy turned into a bully. He wants to be wherever Kymbl is sleeping. So, he chases Kymbl away. That behavior won’t be tolerated.
