You got me. I totally thought this was a sad tale about unrequited love (I guess in a way it still is) until the final stanza. It made me laugh. Nice work.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is such an entertaining, charming, well written poem. You have really captured the true essence of CAT! Cats, even better than dogs, can play us like a drum. They know how to get what they want!

Oh yes! The Egyptians believed cats were gods and treated them accordingly. They tell us the cats have never forgotten it. :) Thank you for reviewing, Dennis

It is my belief that cats consider themselves superior to humans and, in reality, have their owners as pets. Nice write describing the frustration of an owner attempting to relate to a feline. A picture of your cat or one selected from the Internet would dress up the presentation.

You sound like an experience cat person. :) We are told the Egyptians once thought of cats as gods, and the cats have never forgotten it.
Thanks for reviewing, Dennis

I would have to agree that the cats have never forgotten.

Haha. Yes, Deniz22, kitties give owners the look
when they don't measure up, or when they want what
they want NOW. You did a great job with your rhyming
couplets to describe the scene. The sound of the can
owner sends them running and all is forgiven until
they've finished eating. Then, it starts over again.
Thanks for sharing a fun poem, Jan

Yes, they are very human in many of their ways, the major difference being they never experience remorse. Thank you for your review, appreciated, Dennis

LOL! I didn't know how this was going to be resolved. Your ending made me say "AHA!" I didn't see that coming. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Yep, I know exactly what you are talking about. I was trying explain the excitement about the incredible depths of God, and the perfect order in the discovery of wisdom found, compared to the chaotic blind allies of the alternative, I think they get a little frightened, no, it doesn't surprise people don't respond.

Comment from hollyinvesuvianite
You are trying to get your cat to come to you- through the can opener and the can of tuna. Loved the simple rhyme in this fun piece. This is so true as cats are so fickle- they come to you on their own terms- and most of the time it is when food is involved. Great work and God bless you, my friend. Holly

I asked my wife one time why the cats love her more than me. "I feed them", says she. Thanks Holly.

Thanks for your review, but it was not meant to be sarcastic. Anyone who has a cat could relate, I believe. And what's wrong with my grandmother? :)

Hey D...
Well, this obviously follows up the cat story. I gave you the fiver for giving me the chuckle with that twist from courtship to catnip, and I'm sure that's all you were going for, so no starry-eyed Poet Laureat aspirations for you, I guess.

Yeah this is Dennis lite having a little fun ... another one coming soon to a computer near you ... hey, is it kneeled or knelt before her ...lurking ... always :) thanks for the 5! D

I'm not sure. Without looking it up I'd say 'knelt' (being that 'kneeled' sounds more present tense just because of the intact root). Both are probably acceptable, but I'm going to look it up now. ... Okay, dictionary says it's... verb, knelt or kneeled... so I guess you're good. LOL
