Hi there, my name is Dobby,
And this webpage is my new hobby.
Hoping you will like my mews,

So I can get lots of views!  

The Catnip Mouse 

​

Stretching out with a lengthy yawn,
A new day starts with a colorful dawn.
As the day has slowly begun,
Soaking up the morning sun.
Taking to my furry feet,
Time to hunt and find a treat.
Scurrying quickly through the house,
Pushing around a catnip mouse.

​

Taking time for a bit to eat,
Before again taking to my feet.
From a window looking outside,
Watching two birds nearly collide.
Running quickly to the door,
I want to chase them all the more.
Unable to chase the outside grouse,
Quickly pouncing on my catnip mouse.

​

Tossing it high up in the air,
Watching it descend with great care.
Hitting the ground with a bounce,
Quickly on it, I do pounce.
Rubbing the catnip on my fur,
Letting out a contented purr.
Feeling mellow in my little cathouse,
Curling up with my catnip mouse.

Catnap
 

 Letting out a lengthy yawn,

Just before the break of dawn.

After a busy night of play,

Time to snooze the day away.

A quick bath, licking paws,

Taking time to trim the claws.

Finding a blanket in which to wrap,

Time to take another catnap.

​

A familiar sound from the kitchen does come,

As the can opener begins to hum.

Stretching the nose to clean a whiff,

Time to get up for a detailed sniff.

Leaping quickly off the bed,

Knowing it's time to be fed.

Leaving behind not a single scrap,

Time to take another catnap.

​

Contently sitting, licking chops,

From the window watching raindrops.

Outside, it's dark and dreary,

Inside it's warm and cheery.

Needing to feel safe and snug,

Deciding it's time to get a hug.

Seeking out a familiar lap,

Time to take another catnap.

​

Crawling out of a nice warm sack,

Time to grab a little snack.

Eating dry food at first,

Working up a terrible thirst.

Leaping up on the sink,

Teetering for balance on the brink.

After a quick drink from the tap,

Time to take another catnap.

​

   Just about this time each day,

Feeling frisky, time to play.

Ignoring toys with all the fluff,

Don't like all that store bought stuff.

A piece of paper, or rubber ball,

Something to chase on down the hall.

Hiding the toy with a little paw slap,

Time to take another catnap.

​

Tis the life of a domestic cat,

Being lazy and getting fat.

Getting into things, requiring admonition,

Giving love, without condition.

Gently stroking thick soft fur,

Letting out a contented purr.

Forgiven any minor mishap,

Time to take another catnap.

A Checklist to Camping With Your Pets

 

            I have enjoyed camping with my pets for many years in both a tent and an RV across most of my home State of New York as well as most of the Northeast. Camping at both state and private campgrounds, I have come up with a checklist of things to consider when planning a camping trip.           

Feline Leukemia and False Negative Results

 

            When adopting a new cat into your home, do you bring the new cat to the vet soon after for a general physical and a feline leukemia test?
