Talking Cat

     I    think that I might know how to talk cat a bit since I've been observing some in my neighborhood and "Talking" to them.

        Or maybe they've just gotten used to me.

Midnight Shadow

Arrive to see the shadow slip,
Through the midnight atmosphere
You follow and you feel a nip,
On your cold ankle

When you look down,
There is an abandoned ash black cat
And the stray tugs at your gown,
To beckon you back home

Because it sees itself in you

Berry Sue and her Fox

There once was a girl. She went by the name Berry Sue.

One day in art class she made a paper mache fox. Little Berry Sue was very proud of her creation. Before she went home that day her classmates told her that her fox looked like a cat. Berry Sue thought that they were joking. When she got home her mom said, "What an adorable little cat!" Berry Sue got very mad. She still thought everyone was playing a trick on her.

From that day on, Berry Sue would not accept any criticism. So she always stayed at the same level at everything she did.

Bunnicula

Bunnicula

Bunnicula is about a bunny named Bunnicula, a cat named Chester, and a dog named Harold. Chester is sure Bunnicula is a vampire-rabbit. Harold and Chester try to figure out if Bunnicula is a vampire before it's to late. This book was written by Deborah and James Howe.
