u/supersquee

excuse me, friend - but would you mind?
a comfy place i try 'n find
i heard your quiet gentle purr,
i wonder - could you share your fur ?
alas, no floofy hair have i,
but i don't mind... I get by
but when i seek a place to rest
a bed of fur i'd like the best
come on up, cat - it's fine with me
you have no fur - I have plenty!
just curl up with your purrfect form -
your 'body blanket' keeps Me warm ;)
oh, thank you, friend - so very much!
i love your softest furry touch
together here we'll slumber deep
our cat dreams shared,
Furever, keep!

u/-spicylady-

’This is sad. But bless your father and that good girl.’


i do not like this feeling that my humans say is 'sad',
there's nothing fun about it, n i really miss my dad...
it hurts to see the humans do the 'sad' thing like i do,
whatever's gonna happen,
i wish dad could be here, too...
n then appears this little box, n you all say his name !
you tell me 'it's the dad', but no, it's not at all the same...
but if it's true, i'll rest my head here - somehow right, it seems....
n maybe,
when i close my eyes,
i'll see him

the sunlight shining down, but still the salt is out of reach...
the waves are getting higher, licking pretzels on the shore
now, Finally they're salty! but you want alittle more...

This whole quarantine is making some of us very happy!


u/OurNewMonarch

’I think pets all over the world are happy with this current situation!’


it's happening all over - humans staying home much more!
we used to watch them come n go, we waited by the door...
but every morning we get up n wait for them to leave
they Don't! they hanging out with Us! it's so hard to believe...
we don't know when it started, but it's like they somehow know
that suddenly they realize we hate to see them go!
they used to always say 'they don't deserve us' - it was true,
but now we wonder what we did
that We deserving You ?!
whatever, friends - we're happy just to have you all around
it seems that being with us is the happiness you found
n maybe when you gaze into our innocent pet face
you'll realize what matters,
n live life
a slower
pace

’I have never seen such a kind and forgiving face.’


i just want to thank you for all of your care,
i'm cat, n so sometimes i just sit n stare....
remembering back to what life was before,
n how it all changed, since i came through your door
i'm old n i'm wise, with a face that's forgiving,
i never expected this life now i'm living!
so what ever was wrong before, i didn't mind
but You, friend have shown me the meaning of 'kind'...
the care n the love that i'm getting right now
is all worth the long time i waited, somehow
forgetting the past, in my heart all forgiving,
i know now it's You
are the reason

’Good memories to pass on to your new best friend...’

i played for hours on end,
a simple time, i used to play
n there
was my best friend...
to hold the game boy in my hands -
a simple time recalled
easy days, with no demands
the Bestest times of all!
we never thought, as children then
that 'simple times' don't last
i never thought i'd lose my friend -
a memory from my past...
but i'm blessed with a child now
n they'll learn as they grow
that love will help us thru somehow -

milky’s been through a lot. got pregnant, she couldn’t push the first (of three) kittens out, was in pain for an entire day, had a c-section (??) the next day, and came out of it with two kittens. she’s very tired and covered in bandages, but she’s very happy to be around her kids.


’i will take care of her and her kids because she’s been there for me whenever i’ve needed her, and i owe her so much for it...’


so suddenly these babes appear,
first three, but now there's two...
now i just wanna hold them near,
but i need help from you
we've been together, side by side
whenever times were tough
my friend - i've done my best - i tried,
but now - i'm not enough....

’he MONCH.... politely’


i am the crab, so very smol,
i haven't got no floof at all
no human frens, no 'instagram'
no cuddly kits or puppy fam :(
no one will call me 'goodest boi',
but Oh, this sweetness i enjoy!
a teenie bit of strawberry
i do the monch,so carefully
with gentle claws i take a pinch,
politely savor evry inch!
tho no one says i may be 'cute'
why shouldn't I enjoy some fruit?!
n humans - if you feelin crabby,
please don't make your claws all stabby!
find something that makes you merry -
maybe like
a nice
sweet
berry

Adopted this 10 year old rescue. He had a tough life until now but thanks to a lot of people and time he is getting used to his new cushy life as my buddy.


u/cynicalDiagram

’He still has a way to go but he is such a sweet boi’


it seems like i am dreaming, but i hope that this is true
my life has always been so sad, such hard times i've been through...
n tho i have a ways to go, it's more purrfect than i thought
the path that led me here to you was worth the way i fought!
now in the end - a rainbow here, has followed every storm
i'm coming out of hiding, in your arms i'm safe n warm ;)
we'll travel on together, friend - good memories we'll make
but if, by chance, this Is a dream
i pray i never wake!

It was a love hate relationship at first but in the end they became the best of friends


u/MyNameGifOreilly

’it just took one punch to the face...’


i used to didn't like you, n i acted kinda mean
you always seemed so happy, you the 'nicest' fren i seen...
but I am Cat - you pups are too darn good - you irritate!
n so our goal to make you mad, n try intimidate...
n so i tried, so many times - I'd scratch n hiss n scare
i 'booped your heckin pupper snoot', but Still, you didn't care!
but then one day i realized - we gotta share this place...
n all it took - what made me see -
the day you punched my face :}
so now our 'ever after story' has a happy ending
cuz you n me - we learn to be the very Best befriending!
a lesson learned for both of us - i really love you, pup
but don't forget
I am the Cat...
n I can beat you up....

’Cats don’t know a thing about social distancing, especially when there’s a warm body next to them to sleep...’


good morning - so it looks like this is where i'm gonna stay
it took awhile observing you, but i think you're okay...
don't know 'bout 'social distancing', don't mean a thing to me
so from now on, 'adopted friend' -

My Border Collie puppy likes to jump up on and sit on random things. This is my favorite so far.


u/reubal

don't know what this suppose to be,
is just another 'climb' for me
the bottom part - it smells like stink,
to me - a perfect perch, i think :@)
the other dogs they pass it by,
but they don't climb - don't even try
the strange thing is the boy dogs stop,
they lift their leg - i climb on top!
(just why one leg, i donnot know -
is not the way we girl dogs go...)
but me - i J UMPnlift all four!
cuz Climbing things
what i adore

I picked her at the shelter because they said she was the saddest cat they had ever seen. After a week-long hunger strike hiding in the basement, Jax started sneaking upstairs in the middle of the night to eat. After several months of patient coaxing, she has blossomed into the sweetest lap cat.


u/jmccorky

’Your patience made it happen...’


you found me at the shelter, n they said that i was sad
i didn't know what 'love' was - something i had never had...
you brought me to a place so strange, where i had never been
but little did i know, that here
my new life would begin....
i hid down in the basement, all alone, alittle scare
but then i snuck upstairs to eat, when no one else was there
n finally, i came to learn a trust i'd never known
your patience made it happen -
i learned Love
means
'Not alone'

The only thing keeping me sane in these trying times


u/kzcishou

’...during uncertain times like these it's so nice to have extra time to spend with her and play.’


when can we all laugh again,
n spend time with a brother,
or maybe hold hands with a friend -
share hugs with one another ?
the world's become a different place,
much colder than before...
n since we have to 'keep this space'
i'm gonna love you more
in darkest times, if you are blessed
with pet friends by your side,
the ones who want to give you rest
those nights you may have cried...
the extra time they spend with you
will get you through the day
remember, they all need love, too -
but they just wanna play!

This squirrel feeding perch


u/GallowBoob

’Somedays I wonder if comments like yours make her feel good, or if she hears it so often that it's just noise at this point. Like when a rockstar goes out, all they hear is "oh my god! I'm your biggest fan!!!" And at first I'm sure it great, to know that your art form provides joy to so many, but after a while, they're hearing it on a daily basis, that it loses all meaning. It's just that thing that people say when they see them. So then they get more joy out of making the art, then the reactions from it. I wonder if scnoodle goes through that. Post her poems, and finds joy in that, but the rest is more of the same.’

The cat in the window: A story


u/SouljaBoySmellEm_

’I had a cat named Jeff. One time the family left our house in an old 70s oldsmobile and about 3 mins later we hear a loud MEOW and my dad exaimed, Jeff is in the trunk! He pulls over and Jeff is not in the trunk but on the roof of the car holding on for dear life. Poor things eyes were huge, all fluffed out and nails dug in deep into the fabric roof. He was an awesome cat.’


a cat name Jeff - a human name - we smart as humans, too
i tried to do their things the same, n did what humans do
they all piled in the car one day - i want'd to come along...
thought up on roof would be okay,
but oopsie -
i thought wrong...
the dad he started up the car, that's when i cried MeOOWWW!!
he stopped, said 'Jeffrey! THERE you Are!' but they all wondered... 'how??!'
how was it that i held on tight!? What did i have in mind??
but i knew what i did was right -
to Not be left behind...
so if a 'human name' you pick to call us, just like you,
then by your side, we gonna stick
we wanna be with You!

It's easy, just follow these steps:

well, it takes more than that...
n even more than toys or blocks -
he'll need a dog or cat
but cats - they will not wanna share,
they'll wanna be alone
they'll toss your kid right outta there
n make the box their own
but with a dog, he'll have it all
n be amused all day ;)
especia'ly if you add a ball
then all they'll do
is play....

Cat waits outside every morning to be with a kid when he waits for the bus


’I had a kitty that would do the same for me when I was growing up. She would usually be waiting for me in the afternoon too...’


there's things that we remember back when we were growing up,
a family pet we may've had - a little cat or pup
their lives they always seemed too short, but all the time we shared
we remember them forever,
cuz we knew how much they cared...
the times we got in trouble for the silly things we did,
when mom or dad was mad at us, we sometimes ran n hid...
but always there - your loving pet! they came to save the day
in Their eyes you were never wrong - they loved you anyway...
if only we could turn back time, when all we had to do
was get up in the morning, with a pet friend next to you
who watched as you'd be on your way, no matter where you went
n wait til you returned again . . .
their love
was heaven sent

you found me in the garden here, so many years ago,
but just how old i was back then, you really didn't know...
a quiet place to sit n stare, with beauty all around,
i didn't realize back then
that it was Love i found
so many years together now, this still my 'happy place'
the sun is not as bright, but i still feel it on my face
my world is nearly silent, but this garden's where i've known
a peacefulness
forever here . . .
it's where our love was grown

we wander round here on the floor
the mom - she keeps on picking up,

she places us back in the bed
'...but mooomm we rather roam instead!'
adventures, new , round every turn
such curious - so much to learn!

she strive to teach us
what is 'good'
someday we'll learn, someday she'll see
just what
Good girls n boys

My cat recently gained unlimited access to my garden, which resulted in her becoming an even bigger diva than before.


u/franknfurtr

’We’ve made sure she can’t go out of the garden with electrical wiring!’


i am the cat - my human 'knows what's best' for me to do
they keep me safe n fed here (because i 'allow them' to...;}
but when it comes to wandering, my boundary is a 'fence'
(we cats get into trouble... it's my 'safety place', i sense...)
so now another area of wonderment unlocked
the freedom of 'The Garden' here is mine, which once was blocked
i play the game with humans, n the privileges i gain
reveals to them we share a trust, so here i will remain...
...unknown to Them - this All is mine! for now n evermore
'their' castle is My Kingdom, every inch of every floor
n now, with all this outside space, my kingdom Ever growing
...my plan - to Rule the World one day
without them
Ever knowing....

u/Minutes2Midnight

’Please u/SchnoodleDoodleDo !’


late to the party, but you asked....
there is something so familiar 'bout this stick here by my side,
a memory of 'playful', as a pup i couldn't hide...
the search for just the perfect one - the glory of the 'hunt'
then showing off to humans - Look! I found the one i want! :@)
the taste, the chew, the gleeful dance! i'd drop it at their feet....
'No take, just throw', n then - retrieve! - my day would be complete
but now, content to lay here, just to rest my weary head
don't need to chase the stick. . .
retrieving memories

adorned with crowns n hearts, a comfy pillow, n a bed...
a fan outside that gently blows a cooling stream of air,
a place fit for a King! that's how i feel when i'm in there :@)
but honestly, no matter what your human friends provide,
it matters Most the simple way they make you feel inside!
no 'fancy cave' or separate place to sleep - no, we don't care...
we dogs just like to know we have a human friend who's there
n we can help each other thru these days n nights, so tough

’You're a good owner... I mean servant...’


i am the cat - so lucky, me
my human 'servant' pleases, see ?
he noticed i would sit n stare
at window, that was way upthere...
was out of reach, but how i yearned
to have a perch, my human learned
n so, determined, he would build
this place for me -
my wish fulfilled :}
if you can find a human friend
who strives to 'satisfy', no end
then you'll be better off, by far
n what a Lucky
cat you are!

Sir Patrick Stewart playing a very serious game of chess with his foster pup


u/mayaxs

’I need this picture hanging on my wall...’


there's a picture on my wall,
at first glance you will see
a man n dog, but that's not all -
look closer, carefully....
perhaps the human tried to teach
his dog - a game of chess
it seems a stalemate they reach,
the board - it is a mess !
what happened, did someone give up ?
or was the game a draw ?
n who are we to blame, the pup ?
cuz no one ever saw....
i think - with chess, the dog was done
(admittedly, it's hard...)
n now - His turn to choose the fun -
'Let's Play Ball in the Yard!'
the human calmly glances up -
'so my love I must prove ?!'
he's staring at his loyal pup -
'Yes, human -
it's Your move...'

there's humans who are not my type - don't like them very much...
they're not too nice, so i don't wanna feel their empty touch
i am the cat, n i'll ignore you anytime i want
but for that special human friend
i'm always on the hunt....
so when you came into my life, it suddenly felt right
the gentle way you handle me - it fills me with delight :}

my friend, there was a peacefulness the times that you were there
(so what if you 'walked into stuff' - i really didn't care... ;@)
the only thing that mattered, when i met you, from the start
i felt that you were special,
when you walked into my heart!
the time we spent together, i enjoyed you very much!
i loved the way you held me, with your warm n caring touch
no matter what i looked like, you were always good n kind
if there's one thing that you taught me, friend
it's true
that Love is Blind

Good Boi Guide Dog Picks His Own Toy


u/dartmaster666

’> With everything going on, those things that brighten someone’s day are all the more important. I couldn't agree more. Especially when it's something we can experience together. This is an example of what I call "pandemic comraderie" - those little moments where we are able to connect with people, even strangers on the internet, and experience a tiny break from the fear and pain of what's going on out there. It's this comforting feeling like "hey we're all in this together" - and it can come from the simplest little things but still make such a huge impact. I'm severely depressed right now. I've struggled with mental health for most of my life, so it's no surprise that this fucked up world and quarantine and all that stuff is sending me into another depressive episode. Last night my SO and I talked about it - he's feeling the same way - and it felt good to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Now we're working together to take care of ourselves and each other. It's fucking hard, but it felt like such a relief to wake up this morning and talk to him about how we're doing. Shit, even just being able to admit the problem to myself - "yes, I feel like hell, I don't want to out of bed and work from home, and it's because I'm super depressed" - felt like a relief. To anyone else out there having a hard time: you're not alone. Find someone to talk to, whether it's a friend, family, therapist, or even an internet stranger (like me! DM's are welcome). And find the strength to admit to yourself that you're struggling, but know that it's okay to feel that way. To /u/SchnoodleDoodleDo: thank you for sharing your gift with the world. I feel that heart-warming "pandemic comraderie" this morning and owe it to you for bringing a bunch of strangers together over a poem ❤️’


take care there, my friend - we're all getting hammered psychologically right now, so please don't feel there's anything 'wrong' or different about you for feeling that way!
if you can continue to find a bit of joy in the simple stuff, that's what i will continue to be here for...
good luck to Everyone - we all have our little gifts to help each other along ;)

After a lifelong phobia of dogs, my mum seems to be getting over it. This is how her and my dog look at each other


u/Phoenix_girl1911

’I had a dog phobia. Then an old dog came and laid on my lawn to die. The. Neighbors wouldn't take her because they had cats. No shelter would take her because she was old. I couldn't let her die. So we took her to the vet, got her fixed up and kept her. We gave her 2 good years before she died. She was perfect for me because she was old and sweet and never barked or jumped. I love dogs now.’


i was old n dying, so i found a place to lay
alone i was there - lying,
but my friend
you let me stay...
the final years you took me in
made my Whole life worthwhile
the happy tears when lives begin
made my old dog heart
