that is no such thing
as ‘just’ a cat – ‘just’ a cat?
definitely not.
she’s always regal,
pretty, beautiful – of course,
and she’ll stare, and stare.
what is she thinking?
we will never really know,
she’s just amazing!
could we pry?
nope, definitely not.

A white and fawn cat is hiding behind a partially open curtain hanging on a window. Through the window we can see green trees. The cat is also watching the trees.

Oh no, we can’t pry into the mind of a regal cat. A lovely tribute to this beautiful cat. Thanks Chris for joining in.

PS: In Iran, there’s a proverb that states when cowardly individuals hear a noise in their house at night, they don’t bother checking where it originates; instead, they reassure themselves, “God willing, it’s a cat.” 😉😂🐈

The cat is not just a cat, … you’ve reminded me of of McAvity, Chris, … (the character Macavity is a criminal mastermind, not just an ordinary cat, …Googled! )… We may never know what goes on behind a cat’s eyes, … and agreeing, most fervently, … we don’t want to know, …😉💙

Oh yes, I know Macavity, the Mystery Cat… and others. I just pulled this out: Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot – just a lovely little book! 🐈⬛🐈

Hi Chris, that is great to know. That was loosely based on a true situation but the cats didn’t kill the bird. They only played with it 😸
