Dotty can’t understand why
she can’t sleep on my lap.
The blanket is too hot
to drape over my legs
and her claws are too sharp.

Yes! I love this poem, Lisa. My husband has the same issue with Chloe (gray and white cat) every night.

LOL! Yes, they can. Both of mine figure out how to get what they want. Sounds like your cat does too.

It’s actually kind of funny, while I’m reading this, one of my cat ladies is persistently meowing for attention. Her endurance is remarkable, reminding me of the Duracell bunny! :-)
