The fifth dimension of roofs

from ‘Co-existence’

 

My cat has got a secret door

into the fifth dimension.

And every time he goes there

he wants me to come with him.

Last night he looked back before leaving

and made the inviting call.

I shook my head and pointed at the laptop.

He sniffed, shrugged his

shoulders and disappeared.

And I went back to my writings.

I looked at the window

watching the rooftops

gazing into the sky full of stars

and thinking that someday I surely would

accept my cat's invitation.

ahhhhhh! I am completely taken away by the seductive power of the fifth dimension! Please introduce me to your cat - I want to discover it!

Laughed quietly at the ending and immediately said, 'Yes, you should!' Nobody with any sense would sit indoors when the sky's full of stars and you could be sitting watching them outdoors with your purring companion, whiskers twitching and eyes starry bright!

Many thanks for your reviews. :)

You sould definitely accept your cat's invitation. My cats never invite me to go anywhere; in fact, I think they would consider my presence an intrusion.

This piece is a nice one! The cat's travelling and invitation sounds very tempting. Perhaps one day we can all take a step into another dimension? Very nicely written.
