Feline Encounters

I need to look up "cats" in my Animal Speak book.

Walking east on Dearborn one day

I was approached by not one but two cats.

The first, a small brown and black tabby,

came running toward me as if I were the saviour

and she was in need of rescuing.

But when she was ten feet away

she slowed to a walk

and turned off the sidewalk, ignoring me.

The second one, on the south side of the street,

was a black long-hair with white paws,

walking calmly in my direction

across the top of a railroad-tie fence.

I had time for a quick pat before we parted,

I to the east,

cat to the west.
