Cat’s eye
Cat’s eye with the fence, /
green as the summer lichen, /
focused as the dark wood.

Salutation
I stand up to you, /
Young cat said to Old cane. /
Old cane kept its lean.

Eyes
Eyes green as tree leaves /
Black as yesterday’s midnight /
Cat’s summer swings slow.

Overheard conversation at a cat show where there were over 250 cats representing about 40 different breeds.
Cat fancier to an eight-year-old girl: “Do you have a cat?”
Eight-year-old girl: “No, but I have two guinea pigs.”
Cat fancier: “Cats and guinea pigs can get along.”
Girl: “I also have two dogs.”
Fancier: “Cats and dogs can get along.”
Girl: “I also have two birds.”
Fancier, frowning slightly: “Well, maybe sometime in the future you can have a cat.”
I wonder if Noah had the same problem.
