St Frank
Yesterday our lovely little cat brought in a baby duck.
The duck was barely alive.
We dithered around wondering how we could save it.
But that was clearly impossible.
We laid it in a warm place where it emitted a few pathetic cheeps and died.
What I want to know is -
What do you think of your big eyed animal friends now?
Mister Saint Francis.

Cats have a way of putting
everything in perspective;
joy, sleep, petulance, rodents,
and rats with wings--birds.
They fascinate us always, cats,
and tolerate us most of the
time.
So on top of things, sir.
When I stumbled onto this piece
this fine Monday a.m., I had no
idea you had risen early, and
had already gone to the Manor,
and joined this week flock
of magpies. Makes more sense
now, of course, and stimulates
me to jump in, for the feathers
are fine, and the cattails are
thumping hard.
Cats are evil, no self-respecting saint would have anything to do with them.
i think they are more pure their instincts then we are...we hide our bodies, they lay them like offerings...
Cats...are curious.
And their claws are long,
and sharp.
They commit death without
meaning to.
Only curious.
yes we are all
a messy paradox
There has never been a cat-philosopher to teach cats about concepts such as "conscience", "moral imperative" Thoughtful Magpie, Lane.
Our big tomcat used to leave offerings of mice and rodents at the front door.

Food for thought?
cute sentiments.
well concluded.

Although nature looks beautiful - it is in fact very cruel. Well observed.

apt write...keep it up.
check out short story slam and welcome your submission.
Cats are strictly for the birds...
Doug, you make me laugh out loud! Life is so ironic, isn't it? I'm not sure St. Francis could stomach the workings of a real ranch--not for the weak of heart. I hate to see animals die, but it a fact of life.
Hallo, Doug!
I agree with Friko.
Tschüß,
Anonomann
Interesting - in a good way - engaging piece.
