KippyLittle Kitty in the bushes was a tabby,
Although he was a stray he wasn't shabby,
He was handsome and very cute,
His meow was calmer than a flute,
Kitty loved me ever so much,
He purred with every loving touch,
He ran as fast as he could to me,
And my heart felt as though he was the key,
To bring happiness to my strolls,
To heal those with sad souls,
But as I realized he was not a stray,
Femke and KippyMy fears for him drifted away,
Then a horrible sound came from the distance,
And the frightened little kitty took off in an instant,
He ran back into the bushes again,
But was only some dogs and a couple of men,
As soon as they disappeared,
The kitty reappeared!

A Cats Purr

"Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr ...

A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe about ourselves - that we are nice."
