Pickles
On a road called Rickles
was a cat who tickles
his nose on the catnip.
The cat's name was Pickles.
He was gray as nickels,
except for his tail's tip.
His mood was quite fickle
while hearing the trickle
of faucet water drip.
His claws were like sickles
and as sharp as prickles
when a mouse was in grip.
He scanned all his kingdom
and returned to his chum
after his daily trip.
The teenage girl with gum
would then offer him some
tuna and salmon strips.
Then one day, he went numb.
He could not overcome
arthritis in his hips.
The girl ran to his aid.
She was always his maid.
He left his dictatorship.
No more was Pickles
to reign over Rickles,
and the girl's heart was ripped.
The End
While it is commonly thought that the ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats, the oldest known pet cat was recently found in a 9,500-year-old grave on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. This grave predates early Egyptian art depicting cats by 4,000 years or more.
Interesting. Thanks.
The first cat show was organized in 1871 in London. Cat shows later became a worldwide craze.
Researchers are unsure exactly how a cat purrs. Most veterinarians believe that a cat purrs by vibrating vocal folds deep in the throat. To do this, a muscle in the larynx opens and closes the air passage about 25 times per second.
Most cats give birth to a litter of between one and nine kittens. The largest known litter ever produced was 19 kittens, of which 15 survived.
