An Ode to Kitty Zzz-z-z-zs...

Some members of the human family suffer from insomnia. Some human families act as roommates for those of the kittycat persuasion who are examples of spontaneous snoozability.

We human beings can take a page from the kitties' way of relaxing for our bodies repair when we sleep. So what do kitties know that we don't? Are they simply wired differently or do they possess an alternate philosophy of life?

Well, this rhyme won't answer any of these questions but it makes me drowsy just thinking about it, so I'd better speed up my typing finger because I want to add some somnambulent furry ones in photo form to the deal while I'm at it...

When kitties fall asleep

appointments they won't keep

don't set your clock to beep

or make a noisome peep

When kitties take a nap

a-cuddled in your lap

you'd only be a sap

if you expected zap

As kitties start to snooze

at any time they choose

don't bother sharing views

for you would surely lose

So let your kitties dream

of fish and bowls of cream

a-floating down life's stream

you know they reign supreme!

Shhh-h-h-h!
