Eight (12)
1 he talks to me about the cats
when I am sad and I think
the cats think that is funny
2 then the cats are anxious when
I am sick and they like to
sleep on my belly
3 the cats understand three
languages now, English, Tagalog and
Bisaya, I talk to them a lot and so
I learned to speak catese
3 of course I get upset when the
cats are fighting but I suppose
they couldn't help it
4 my cat has a big mouth you
can hear him meowing from
very far away the neighbours
think it's funny
5 his cat is more subtle, he likes
to sit on the stove and singe
his whiskers
6 when I am irritable
he cuddles my cat
7 when he is irritable
I cuddle his cat
8 where would we be
without our cats!

I used to have dogs when I lived in the city and needed them as noisy barking guards. :) But when we moved to the country, I thought that cats were much better because they protect us from snakes.
When the big earthquake struck, we were too scared to sleep inside the house, so we slept on the balcony and the cats slept with us, warding off snakes that liked to climb there.
Knead? Oh you mean like put their paws on you and massage you? Ahahaha! :) No, our two cats don't do that, but I used to have a cat in the city who did that. His name was George. :)
Thanks for the kind comments, Rina, I started the Eight series as a kind of list, like a simple grocery list. In poetry, it helps me get back to basics, to simple writing. :)
