I’m talking about “The Cat” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti—a poem that knows cats not as cute companions, but as quiet observers, agile acrobats, and masters of their own mystery. Let’s paw…

text is Paws for Poetry, arched over a black cat sitting with tail curled over toes

A Look at “Beware of Kittens” By Heinrich Heine Beware of kittens. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. No…

Hi, furriends! Today I’m talking with a cat whose name alone is a masterpiece: Smarty Picatso. She lives in a studio full of paints, clay, and more artistic temptation than most of us could resist. Between stealing clay stamps, adding “custom” paw prints to pottery, and perfecting the tail-curl-with-side-eye pose, Smarty’s got the art life…

Paws for Poetry: Reflecting on She Sights a Bird by Emily Dickinson

text is Paws for Poetry, arched over a black cat sitting with tail curled over toes

Hello, furriends, my fellow feather-chasers and daydream dignitaries. Today’s poem is short, sharp, and startlingly accurate. Emily Dickinson may never have stalked a robin herself, but she clearly observed someone who had. In “She Sights a Bird,” she captures the art of the hunt—the thrill, the precision, the heartbreak—with feline fidelity. Let’s take a look at…
