Notes From Underfoot

[resonant]

Who has seen the cat?
Neither I nor you.
But when you fall and break your leg,
The cat is passing through.

Who has seen the cat?
Neither you nor I.
But when you tumble down the stairs,
The cat is passing by.

Oh, dear. Are you broken? I hope not.

I've always loved the original of this little poem.

Amazingly, none of us, including the cat, are permanently damaged. But it's not for lack of effort on his part.

Whew! I'm glad all is well.

Sometimes it seems like a miracle I haven't yet had a major wipeout with one of my cats, especially the big one who tends to zig when I zag.
