A Cat and Dog Tale

Once there was a cat named Mookie
Oh! she was a beauty!
She lived in a house with you and me.
Mookie rested and relaxed
wherever she may.
Then one day, along came Bart.
A small black dog was he.
At the sight of sweet little Bart,
Mookie ran to a place she thought was safe.
She was found underneath the bed curled
up just like a ball.
Bart began to bark and bark to let her
know that I am here to stay.
As time went on the two sweet pets
learned to share and sit side by side
in that house they lived in.
But, every so often as Bart went by
Mookie's paw would reach out to that
small little black dog, as if to say,
"I was here first!"

Hehehe I have a cat like that too. VERY light paws even though he came in fifth. :-)

I really like this Cat and Dog Tale as I knew Mookie and Bart.
They were very sweet pets!

And I can really relate to your ending as that's just how Smokey was when we got Jake... Smokey used to hiss at Jake and I'm sure she was thinking "I was here first"

Be back to visit when I return to blogging in October.

When Sadie (big dog) came to live us and our two cats, the cats let Sadie know who was boss and Sadie agreed and they became BFF. So your tale brought big smiles!

Interesting the dynamics between a cat and a dog! Everyone seems to be constantly on his/her guard... Good read! a lot of nuances and plot turns...
