Brush me right there
On the belly square
Along the soft, creamy hair
If you naively dare
I’m going to stay right here
Not to be cavalier, but…
Don’t go near Queenie dear
She’s up to something, I fear
I command the brush, I say
It is the pampering day
Hold the hairspray
Human, do not walk away
In the shadows I shall hide
With knowledge, abide
In safety simplified
From Ziva’s brand of homicide
Brush me, brush me now!
Or this I avow
Your behavior I will not allow
I shall get even somehow
So brush her human, I implore
Down there on the floor
Keep us safe, do not ignore
Remember, she’s a carnivore
Stream of Consciousness Saturday is the brainchild of author Linda G. Hill. Every Friday, Linda provides her followers with an inspiring blogger’s prompt. It can be a word or words and sometimes bonus points are involved (my favorite). Linda asks us to write without editing, other than correcting spelling errors.
Just go with the flow.
Like a babbling brook or rain drops. Click HERE if this type of writing floats your boat or helps with your decision-making. Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “brush.”

Nooooo! Don’t fall for it.
Very nice job with the prompt, but I hope you have Band-Aids.
I have plenty of Band-Aids, Dan, but I took Gibb’s advice and am hiding in the shadows. I’ll come out and brush Ziva when she’s in a better mood.
Brushing MuMu is safe, but grabbing those little pink paws, that’s another story.
Ha! I dare you… 😁
I fall for it every time.
Lovely post. You did very well with the prompt. And your cats are beautiful.
Thanks Maggie! Gibbs and Ziva are two beautiful kids, but their attitudes tell me they already know that. 😏
Love the names!
From my favorite TV drama!
Mine, too!
Tee-hee! Pictures and prose, I love it all, Mary J. Happy Caturday to you and the kids. Hugs on the wing.
Thanks Teagan! The kids are getting better at blogging, although I think they would rather be sleeping or eating or making me their slave. Purrs on the fur from Gibbs and Ziva!
Cute kitties!
Yes, they are John. 😼😼
I always enjoy your cat voices with your insight into their personalities. They certainly make life interesting. We are without a companion animal in the house for the first time in many years. I’m thinking of bringing the feral Mama Cat from church home this winter. I might need more band aids. Or gloves.
Maybe Mama Cat will understand the value of a warm house when the time comes and you won’t need the bans aids.
Maybe. I’m hanging out with her as much as I can.
Beautiful kitties 🙂 Such inspirations for greats posts too.
Gibbs and Ziva are truly my furry muses.
Love this! Beautiful kittens to go with a great post.
Thanks Laura! The kids and I are glad you enjoyed a poetic brushing.
If my son and husband weren’t so deathly allergic I’d have a cat in a heartbeat! I’ll just have to live vicariously through this post! Love the rhymes and the story behind the poem!!
Thank you for your positive feedback! I’m sorry your son and hubby are so allergic to cats. Can they cuddle up to a dog or is that off limits too?
I fall for the exposed belly every time! It seems we humans never learn 😏
They have magical taunting powers when it comes to the tummy. 🙂
Does Ziva like a spot of Marley reggae Mary?…..purrr….
I don’t know. I usually play rock, but maybe reggae would soothe Ziva’s soul.
Why isn’t the youtube link being copied?
Oops, it is. I am told Xavier does wonders for soothing little kitty’s souls….
