My Dixie cat is so very much fun,
I bring her out often for her daily run.
She mostly likes the big Maple trees,
With their many red and orange leaves.
One red leaf dropped on her head,
And slowly slipped down her nose.
Her yellow eyes only saw bright red,
She brushed it away with her paw-toes.
I gather the leaves up into a big pile,
And so begins much laughter for a while.
Jumping in and out in and out my crazy cat
Til there’s nothing left leaving the pile flat.
She stands at my feet looking up at me,
I kinda know what it is that she wants
Gather up another pile and you will see,
I will entertain you once again for free.
Said my special little Autumn kitty.

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the paws up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow
Not at all like proper kitty’s, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up higher like an blue yarn ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that there’s none of him at all.
He hasn’t got a notion of how kittens ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me, he’s a coward you can see;
I’d think shame to stick to mommy as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
A Cats Prayer
If it should be, that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then, you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle, can't be won.
Don't let your grief stay your hand,
For this day more than the rest,
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many years,
What is to come can hold no fear.
You'd not want me to suffer, so
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me to the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you'll see it is a kindness you do for me
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Don't grieve it should be you who this thing decides to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold tears.
SMILE, FOR WE WALKED TOGETHER FOR AWHILE.
