Much Sadness
We were stunned when we heard about Bear Cat
The sweet and amazing Bear Cat, from MommaKatandHerBearCat.com, sadly passed away on Sunday, May 9th, after an unexpected an sudden battle. Fifteen years ago Bear Cat rescued his Momma and worked his magic to improve her life on a daily basis. Now, there’s lots of sadness and Momma Kat and Sister Ellie need our love and support.
Please stop by with love, hugs and words of comfort here:

Marv's Doggerel on Poetry Thursday at Two Spoiled Cats
We LOVE
Sammy's Poetry. He does such a great job and we love that he sends Teddy and Mom photos for next week along with his terrific poems. I am
not really good at it but I do get inspired some times and this week, I
Marv, was INSPIRED! Here is the photo he sent!
Dragon in the Clover!
Today will be fun, sister one did say,
As they travelled the trails to get to the hay.
They travelled the path in the old wagon,
The little boy hoped they’d soon see a dragon.
But all that they saw was corn in the field,
And a surly old man who would not yield,
I will show you another good game that I know!
Said sister two, all that I need is your shoe that is blue!
A tussle erupted and arguing began,
Sit down! And Be Quiet! Said the old man.
We will be at the field as soon as we can,
And if you are not quiet the dragon will eat you,
And your shoes that are blue, he will swallow you whole,
Without even a chew as we go over the knoll!
The children got quiet, and sat down proper,
And they soon saw the dragon-who was a whopper!
He smiled and laughed and then he giggled
His body it shook and his belly it jiggled.
The trip was fun and then it was over,
And the dragon he sat in his field of clover!

ReplyDeleteIt's always good to see you, so take care OK?
We were so very saddened by Bear's passing too.
ReplyDeletewe bet that dragon was named randall flagg.. he always lures in da corn field ;O)
ReplyDeleteI was very sad to hear that Bear Cat had passed over. He rescued Kat when she needed him.
ReplyDeleteI love your poem. The photo reminds me of when I first met Ivor and we both used to go up the next farm to help with the hay saving. No dragons though!
I didn't know Bear Cat, but it is so sad when our compagnion leaves us forever. I only start now to show a picture of my cats who left me in different years after 18 - 20 years together.
ReplyDeleteWe also did not know Bear Cat but anyone who loses their best friend we send hugs to. Sounds like he and his Mom were meant for each other. Your poem is PURE MAGIC - we love dragons and who knew they could be found in cornfields! Thanks for "playing" poetry with us - it's so much fun to read everyone's poetry!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Teddy
I did not know bear cat but my heart hurts for the ones left behind. Beau and I are thankful for all our friends and the blogosphere. They make life much more happier than it would be without all of you. That includes both people cats dogs and anything with four legs. Wild clapping for the poem. It is perfect and I love love the dragon and I love the easy name of Randall

We didn't know Bear Cat, but so sad. We send our condolences to the family.
ReplyDeleteYour poem is awesome!!! That photo reminds Mom of the times many years ago when her human children would go for a ride on the tractor with her father-in-law through the tobacco and corn fields. The kids just had so much fun with their Grandad.

We were really sad to learn about dear Bear Cat. He was such a great friend to his Mom we know she is really sad. You have a nice poem and look at that wild Dragon. We needed that to give us a smile. Purrs friends
ReplyDeleteI too was so very sorry to read of Bear's passing...he was his mom's heart cat.
ReplyDeleteBARB can you hear me cheering and clapping what a fantastic X 100 poem. I love the dragon that was a surprise. As Carol said magical

I have always wanted to go to a dude ranch. One year we thought about one in Wyoming. Once we landed in Wyoming it was a 5 hour drive to the ranch. This was back when our daughter was a teenager.
DeleteOne of those wish we had done it things
Your poem is quite imaginative. It is always so interesting to see what direction each person takes with his or her poem. We were devastated when we learned about Bear. We know this is a huge blow for Kat. Kizmet is all agog to find out Marv is smitten with her. She thinks he’s pretty fab.
