Once there was a little kitty
Whiter than snow;
In a barn she used to frolic,
Long time ago.
In the barn a little mousie
Ran to and fro:
For she heard the kitty coming,
Long time ago.
Two eyes had little kitty.
Black as a shoe;
And they spied the little mousie,
Long time ago.
Four paws had little kitty,
Paws soft as dough,
And they caught the little mousie,
Long time ago.
Nine teeth had little kitty,
All in a row;
And they bit the little mousie,
Long time ago.
When the teeth bit little mousie,
Little mouse cried "Oh!"
But she got away from kitty,
Long time ago.
Elizabeth Prentiss
"The key to a successful new relationship between a cat and human is patience." ~ Susan Easterly
Do you every wonder how much water your cat should be drinking? If you feed her dry food, she should consume approximately one cup of water for every ten pounds of body weight in a twenty-four hour period. If you feed her canned food, her intake may be one-third to one-half of the above. If the weather is warm or she is playing or running a lot, she may drink more.
