Morning with Cats #sol22 30/31

Three, possibly four
Occasionally even five
Living weighted blanket
Of lap cats
Purrs, sighs, shifts
Devoted morning companions

**********

My theme for Slice of Life 2022 is finding inspiration in the writing of others. Each day I plan to find my slice in someone else’s words or forms. Several slicers have tried three word stories, and I first bookmarked Debbie Lynn’s version at Moon Snails, Daisies, and Marmots.

    “Living weighted blanket” – perfect description. I can feel the velvety, breathing, heavy comfort of it. Beautiful photos. I have an affinity for black cats, having had one when I was young.

    Loved the pics! Are these beauties litter mates? We always call our lap cats furry hot water bottles 🙂

    My first thought of the picture was “one of these things is not like the other”…and this piece sounds so cozy. The format suits the subject perfectly!

    Ahh choo! Is all I can say to this morning’s poem. I would love cats more if they didn’t make me sneeze. But I can appreciate them in photos and poems. It looks like such a warm way to start the day. Now I have a tumbling galloot to take for a walk.

    “Warm weighted blanket” is purrfect. I think they love your morning routine as much as you do!

    No other kind of blanket is needed. It is soft, warm, furry, emits a soothing sound, and just gives off a feel good vibe.

    How precious! I envy you and your bevy of kitties. It must be so soothing to have a lap full of them.

    Glorious poem, glorious photo. If my cat sits on my lap for five minutes I consider myself lucky.
