Snow Sez by T. Shepherd for March 18, 2016

Walk like an Egyptian.

Snow must be part Maine Coon. Mine does this, although I swear partly because he enjoys watching me struggle to not knock it down while I try and scoop

CleoCatra!!!

Bastet

A Cat’s Prayer to Bast

As I lay me down to sleepI pray to Bast my soul to keep,I pray to Bast my soul to take,And transport it to the sandy landsWhere my forbears worshipped were,Where my ancient kin were much reveredAnd where the cat first learned to purr.

As I pad on velvet feetI pray Bast will give me mice to eat,And as I use my litter trayI ask that she will find me play,In her bright heaven where all cats,Are stroked by Bast’s most blessed hands,And bask and gambol in her care,Remembering Egypt’s ancient sands.

As I knead upon your knees,I hope that Bast is greatly pleasedTo see her child at rest and play,Fed and cared for every day,And when I reach that glorious placeAnd gaze upon her feline face,I’ll ask that Bast will grant you graceTo join me in eternal play.

Walk like an Egyptian!Imagine the Bangles singing that.
