Dear Cat

Stroking your fur,
I sink into your purr
And I feel my anxiety lessen.

The stress of the day,
Floats so gently away,
In my life you’re a wonderful blessing.

I cuddle you tight,
When things aren’t feeling right,
You don’t judge,
You don’t tut,
You just listen.

You allow me to speak,
When I’m low or I’m weak,
Cat-less folk do not know
What they’re missing.

Why I worship Bastet – a reflection on cats and women! by Vickie Zisman

“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”

Robert A. Heinlein

(Have you noticed the identical eyes of  both cat and girl?)

A historical note: Bastet (or formerly Baast, Ubaste, and Baset) was a goddess of  Warfare in the Lower Egypt in the period of the second dynasty  (2890 BC). The name changed later  to Bastet, as we know it today. The deity conceptually evolved  from the Lioness goddess –  a fierce huntress,  warrior and protector (of the Sun God Ra, and “nicknamed” Lady of Flame or the Eye of Ra)- to a cat goddess, after the ferals became domesticated in Egypt, around first millennium BC. Cats were elevated to the rank of God.

So what can we say of a Woman and Cat?

Reflecting on Bastet….

That Woman and Cat entwined they beget

The Book of the Master Plan

That Woman and Cat the One they become

Keep everything in place

The Order of things, the Essence of Being

The Mind of the Universe

Protecting the Home, the Wisdom of Old

The Spirit that guides the Light

The Soft Velvet Paw that will sink its Claw

And rip out your unwary Heart

The Gaze that will mesmerize your Mind

The Purr that will balance your Soul

Irresistible Softness of unearthly Warmth

That will bring  Rebirth to you Whole

The whimsical Grace, the wistful Face

The Reason that talks to Divine

The Wildness untamed, the Cheek unashamed

This fusion is Woman-Feline

(Clio: I think I’ve asked for Tuna twice already. Am still waiting…. .)

(Tuli: Who me? Me do nothing, no mischief….Cross my heart...)

Edit and Honey by James Purslow

Honey likes children, when they’re quiet as a mouse,
Honey likes children when they’re not in the house.
Edith love cats, she really wants to cuddle
She can never get quite close enough, it leaves her in a muddle.

Honey sees a child and hides under the bed
Or maybe in a cupboard, that’s what her uncle said.
Edith was really patient and looked all day long.
But Honey kept on hiding she just kept on and on.

It’s almost Edith’s bed time and honey’s not yet appeared,
Edith thinks she’s missed her chance, it’s just as she feared.
Perhaps Honey doesn’t like her? She really hoped she did.
She decided to look no more, where the cat was hid.

Now it was her bedtime and she was very sleepy.
She closed her eyes and drifted off, but what was really sneaky
Honey the cat, was slumbering and snoozing under the bed
She climbed right up, onto the pillow and settled by Edith’s head.

First thing in the morning, Edith woke to a surprise,
She could see right next to her, honey’s big wide eyes.
Honey even let her stroke her, and tickle under her chin
They stayed like this for ages, until her mum came in.

Now Edith’s learned a lesson, if she wants a cat sat on her lap,
it’s to stay quite still, settle down and pretend to take a nap

My Kittie Cat by Vickie Zisman

My kittie cat jumped on my lap and said:

Why don’t you scratch my chin

While you at that I will collect

My thoughts that are within

My fingers running through her fur

Extracted blissful purr

Her eyes  closed shut and she reposed

Submitting  evermore

Her velvet paws just slightly twitched

In tandem with her dreams

I thought, she must be chasing birds

Or mice, as  it would seem

Her furry slumber on my knees

Exuded gentle warmth

That spread across my soul complete

Inviting me to doze

I joined my cat in realm of  dreams

And  ain’t it a surprise

After a game of hide and seek

We both are chasing mice 🙂
