#MM — Saturday Mix — Littlest Lions

Dotty in a Box 1119

 

Graceful groomers, catnip crunchers
Fastidious felines, Meow Mix munchers
Leaping lithe, stalking sneaks
Crouching carnivore, silences squeaks
Day dreamers, dark darters
‘Vian voyeurs, hairball hawkers
Quiet companions, furry friends

For this week’s Lucky Dip, I have reached into my mystery bag and pulled out a Alliterisen. The topic is up to you!

When I think of cats I think of them as the littlest lions. ‘Vian here is short for avian, which refers to birds, which my cats obsess over.

      Thanks, Max. It is a slow process, but things are getting better between them. How’s Martha doing? I haven’t asked about her in awhile.

        I’m glad it’s getting better.

        She has probably almost tripled her size since we got her…not quite but more than doubled. She is doing good…just teaching her not to chew…on us. When she gets excited her mouth starts going. It’s the puppy phase…still working on housebreaking…it’s getting better but we are not there yet lol.

          I remember those needle-like puppy teeth and how they like to gnaw on things. My Chauncey had a Kong that I put small treat bones in and he loved it! This was when he was an adult dog. As a puppy he chewed on everything! Glad to hear Martha is doing well.

    What an adorable cat. Ours is all black with green eyes and looks more sinister than cute.

    A tricky form – glad I tried it. But I like less rules and less rhyme.
    I’m not a fan of force rhyme. But the alliteration was fun.
    And you captured many a cat with your verse :)

      Catching cats is challenging, herding cats is nigh impossible :)
