Cat lost, cat found, cat poem

Hello new friend - the cutest cat on earth just strayed into place!

Do you know cats, the quiet paws,
full of freedom, that's not yours?
Though you feed them, tender, gently,
and open up your house's entry!

Maybe, we lack the trace of balance,
the tail, that keeps the contenance.
For we, compared in this relation,
don't have such genius compensation.

Those theeth, let's not forget,
or your finger's bones regret!
And their ears, in this do trust,
they even hear things gather dust.
Those eyes they simply shine in light,
catch the smallest moves at night,
meanwhile we humans - lack that sight.

But the worst of all that choice!
I fell in love, just with their voice.

"BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Kennst du Katzen, stille Pfoten?
Voll mit Freiheit, die verboten -
für die Hand die sanft und zart,
mit Fleisch bedenkt was ist behaart.

Vielleicht fehlt uns die Spur Balance,
der Schwanz bewahrt die Containance.
Bei uns von Ausgleich selbiger Natur
fehlt bei Betrachtung jede Spur...

Erst die Zähne, ich vergaß fast!
Knochen splittern bei der Last
und ein Ohr, kannst du mir glauben
hört selbst leisestes verstauben.
Diese Augen, einfach leuchten
und wir des Nächtens Lichter bräuchten.

Doch verliebt, das ist das Schlimme
hab ich mich halt in ihre Stimme.

"BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

His name now is THEODOR, THE FIRST. He loves to cuddle for hours! The neighbours don't know him... I just fell in love.

I took the photos just an hour ago. The poem is written in 2013, inspired by my old cat, Kürbis (Pumpkin). I'm really sorry, he died from cancer at the age of 10, 4 months ago. RIP Kürbis!
