A book that has been on my 'to be read' list for years, and I finally asked my intrastate library system for a copy.

 A delightful read!

~~~

A few morsels:


Eyes closed, I lick and

Lick my fur.  One gets into

The Zen of it all.


You read books; I like

To lie on top of them.  We're

Both bibliophiles.


You call and I hear.

But I am a jungle cat

And will not answer.


Give me one reason

Why in heaven's name I should

Not sleep in the sink.


Please bear in mind that 

You're part of my entourage,

And not vice versa.
