*****************************
I've been roundly criticized for saying this: animals are more themselves than people are that you can depend upon most idiot humans would say but animals are unpredictable have no brains no REAL ability to reason have no feelings etc ad nauseaum... And any attempts to explain away their behavior or actions is only anthropomorphism plain and simple oh really? have you ever had a cat who was dying come to you while you were in the tub bathing and getting ready for work, who placed both paws on the edge and bawled His last good-bye to you while he looked you directly in the eye? I had that happen I launched myself out of the cool water too late to find Him laying there eyes glassily opened staring at the ceiling his head resting atop of a pile of my dirty clothes as a Kitten He'd pull out every pair of my dirty underwear and pile them up in the sunny place where he preferred to rest during the daytime... when I returned home from work he'd greet me with dirty underwear in His mouth, and then He'd deposit the underwear at my feet as if to see here you are, finally!!!!!!! Why did you take so damn long to come back to me?!!!! I told Him often while His ears flickered "Tigger, I wish you were my boyfriend.." "Tigger, I am so glad I rescued You.. burnt-whiskered and frightened that day long ago...." "Tigger, You are my best friend, I love You as You love me the way We are...." Sweet Boy, Buddha Buddha Man Best Friend to the very End how I still love You old cranky furry-man You only broke my heart once and it WAS on the day You died. ************************************************** ******************************************************* LEGAL COPYRIGHT FOR THIS POEM 11:17pm OCTOBER 8 2022 TIME AND DATE STAMPED FOR COPYRIGHT AND ALSO FOR THIS WRITER MELISSA A.
