Dandy randy Tom cat

A light humour poem to lighten moods as we phase out from pandemic spells. I like watching cat antics...

Curiosity perhaps killed many a cat
For a cat it is an inquisitive brat

It could rummage through anything even your rubbish trash
Tabby may spring on dinner table and cutlery may crash

Famous might be a cat for those famed nine lives
but not much help is that if in every danger it dives!

Its feline curiosity to crash-land it in trouble
for it tends to explore every kind of rubble.

The catty puss likes a fight and a wild-goose-chase.
Forever looking forward to amuse and amaze?

In a cat basket he's likely to be struck with ennui
Perhaps his caretaker thought only of his fengshui?

His meowing and hissing resonates in the valley
as he tussles with many rival cats in the alley

Mr. Tom cat thinks most females are saucy
but with them he acts in a way quite bossy

Wild and rough, with macho feral pride
I watch you tease and taunt in your typical stride.

No way is he kitty soft paws
Mr. Tomcat sure has the sharpest claws.

Tomcat ate the fishy leftover pudding & fish pie
and kissed the feline females and made them cry.

But my fav is my own cutie p***y darling so soft
even if she may raid the larder and loft that's aloft .

An entertaining poem! I have had several cats over the years, so yes, I like cats. But your poem reminds me of an incident involving a neighbour's cat rather than one of my own. I remember when I was a child one summer, and my father had taken a lovely joint of beef out of the oven and put it on the table to cool, before carving. The kitchen door was slightly open, and our neighbour's cat snuck in and leaped on the table, unseen. By the time my father saw the cat, it was tearing away pieces of beef and eating it! The cat was shooed away, and my father had a few stern words with our neighbour, but nothing could be done about it. Cats are cats! My father trimmed away the section of beef where the cat had been engaged, and we had to make do with a diminished beef dinner! Amusing to look back upon, but my father was vexed at the time. I enjoyed reading your poem!

a very entertaining poem which i enjoyed zaynab..
i love cats & dogs, but cats are easier to have 'cos they don't need washing or walking, & they do their toiletry business very neatly in a litter box.
cats are good for animal lovers who work all day, as cats don't bark to annoy neighbours nor appear to suffer from separation anxiety.
over a period of 30 years we owned 11 cats & 6 at the one time, & 5 dogs over 20 years.

We have a prowling Tom cat
He is a stripy ginger and white
He climbs over the wooden fence
Ti eat the scraps put out for the birds
He is so fat
The ginger TOM CAY

I myself had two cats. One was called Puffy, the other Kitty. I can relate to a lot of what you've mentioned. Especially cats fighting in the ally. They used to make quite a lot of noise on the side of my house between mine and the house next door. The sounds they made reverberated of the brick and sounded horrible.

Nicely penned poem here. :)

Cats are in a world of there own..finding such fun in paperboys, etc.
I really enjoyed this fun read...
Grew up with cats... all females..and forever getting pregnant by some cat roaming our neighbourhood...

This was a fun read. Pussycats have it rough. Tomcats have barbs on their penises which protrude when entering the female and stay extended until the male reaches orgasm. While it might guarantee him a bit of joy, it's not very much fun and quite painful for the females. That is where the word "caterwauling" comes from; the screams of pain produced by the females when mating. Ouch!

[Archishman Rick]

Thank you for such an amusing read, Ms. Zaynab! I found it really enjoyable. I can definitely relate to the musings in your poem, as I used to have a few cats myself at our home until they passed a few years ago, and man were they a piece of work, haha. They sure used to keep things so, well, lively around! Great rhyming, refreshing tone in this piece. Kind regards.

Hii Rick, yeahh man, cats do keep things livelier and funful . Thanks for your super comment, luv to hear of cat stories .

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Zaynab… Cats are super Smart and entertaining… they are Individuals just like People. We have a Siamese named Snowflake with Blue Eyes and a Tabby named Elisa Clover Doolittle with Green Eyes. Have fun.., gently, Pat

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Wow snowflakes is such a cool name and a siamese too wow! The tabby must have a shorter nickname neh but the whole name sounds very honorable and funful for a cat . I love green eyed cats looks. Warm thanks for such a fun lovely comment. Take care,

[Patricia Wedel]

Elisa Doolittle was flower girl in "My Fair Lady who had a Cockney English Accent. Love to sit with Clover" my female Cat with green eyes like Clover... and say her name over and over "Elisa Clover Doolittle". She seems so affectionate when I say her name... like it is an "Honor" bestowed. gently, Pat
