(by Samantha the Cat)
Oh, how I wish I were a dog!
A wonderfully peppy puppy dog.
Full of wisdom, stature, energy, true-
Full of wonder and curiosity, why, just like you!
Oh, how I wish I were a dog!
Carefree, whimsical, and happy with all.
I would run around, roll, and jump up high,
Fly in the air, fetch, oh gravity, I defy!
Oh, how I wish I were a dog!
Never without grace, my tongue hanging down.
I would grin all day, play, pant, and slobber,
Lick my human’s face? Of course, it’s no bother!
But alas, I was born to be merely a cat…
A simple, ordinary kitty cat.
But I adore my human, and she loves me,
So I guess it’s not too bad, wouldn’t you agree?
My best impression of a dog with a tongue hanging out.

Very sweet!
😊 😊 😊
Well I can’t blame you for wishing you were a dog, but there is NOTHING ordinary about Sama the CAT! Don’t even think it. I wish I could write poetry like you can – so there, we’re even. (btw- MY tongue is not slimy, just so you know – and I don’t slobber either)
Woof! Tink
Teehehe…Samantha apologizes for using the generalized “slobbery tongue” stereotype. As you can tell she has not been around the canine bunch much. 😛
Tell her it’s okay. I haven’t spent a lot of time around cats, so I probably have a few stereotypes in my head too. She didn’t hurt my feelings – I just want her to know. But she’s right that our tongues are slippery-er than cat tongues. 🙂
Woof!
Aww you made Samantha purr. She likes you! 🙂
Yay!
xx, Tink
Lol. Hilarious poem. Nice job Samantha! 😀
Teehehe. Samantha thanks you for the compliment! 😉
Reblogged this on wwwpalfitness.
*blush* I feel so honored! -Samantha
You’re quite Welcome:)
Samantha I love your dog impersonation, but I find it hard to believe you want to be one. Why, most of those qualities you described in your perfectly poetic poem can even more so be ascribed to cats! Silly kitty!!
Oh dear…silly kitty indeed! Oh well…she did try her best. I guess one never really knows what it’s like to be a dog until…well…you are one… 😉
Forgot.
Nice poem as always, happy carefree poem
Why thank you. 🙂
love is in the air for you cat…..but I prefer the dog, wiggling tail, sleeping all day, no worries, go to the bathroom wherever I want, bark in anger without repercussions…….
Lol…yes all those sound pretty tempting…I wouldn’t mind being a dog either! 🙂
Wonderful to put a smile on faces… so lovely! Have a great weekend you both 🙂
Why thank you! And a great weekend to you too! 😀
Aww! This is adorable! 🙂
Why, thank you! It’s my first poem, you know. 😀
This poem is absolutely delightful!
This is wonderful and left me with a big smile! 🙂
Yay! I’m glad it did! 😀
Hehe, i like your dog impersonation 😐
That was supposed to end with this face 😀
Teehehe….why thank you! 😀
Loved this! 🙂
Why thank you! It’s my first poem, you know… 😀
Naturally good at it 🙂
I would be reincarnated as one of my dogs any day haha They have it very easy! Great post 😉
Thank you! I agree…they have it easy! 😀
EASY? No way – you should see what I have to put up with living with THE Poster Girl for ADD! I even have to remind her when it’s time for us to eat!
Woof! TINK
Great poem, Phoebe! And as a dog lover I have to agree about all the “pros” of being a dog — but as a cat lover as well, I’d say your cat (beautiful she is!) is very lucky to have her human and really wouldn’t want to exchange places with a dog! 🙂
Thank you! I keep telling Samantha how I love her just as she is, but she seems determined to become a dog! My suspicion is that she may have developed a puppy crush on C-Dog…no joke!! Quite a complicated situation this has become… 😛
You’ll just have to tell Samantha that it’ll have to be a “long-distance” romance with C-Dog, LOL. But he actually like cats — in fact, besides our old dog, Millie, he lives with 4 cats. So he’s pretty comfortable with felines — and he can be as persnickety with food, too! 😉
Wow! Samantha will be thrilled to hear that! Maybe it will help her accept her feline self… 😀
Fun!
“Lick my human’s face? Of course, it’s no bother!”
Hmm, not too sure about that. I’ve always liked the texture of cat tongue, as weird as that sounds.
Such a charming picture. It’s as if Samantha’s saying “Aw, shucks? Me? Nah, I could never be as cute as you, puppy!”
She’s so fluffy…
You know…I personally have always thought that a dog’s tongue was rather slimy, don’t you think? Nevertheless…I’m a little envious! 😉
Thank you for liking my poem! It’s my first one. I’m trying my best to emulate my human, because I want her to be proud of me!
Have a good day! -Samantha
