my cat died...

DopeBeastie

You
furry bleed sneezer,
hacking harvester,
delicious old time,
best friend, despite
the distant admiration
the buzy hand...
You were family
And now, you rest.
Left. Your twisted,
dog shake body
to the ground
from you
ascend

Be at peace, companion
dislike me as you might
(I cannot know)


With Love,
me

Wishing you strength

Pet is in source a derivative of a Gaelic Irish word, the nearest translative synonym being that of a tame animal. However, the translation with its many developmental contexts and subtexts loses the nuances of respect and magical adoration that, in Irish culture, is bestowed upon the broken-in horse, for example, or any domesticated (but not necessarily mastered) animal.


Of course, please google a compendium of more recent usages in this language.

We might settle this discussion in your favour, if we can show that peata , the origin of pet in Irish, shares a root with pietās in Latin.

Someone with the time, step in.

Hope you don't mind this discussion, Rachel! Cats work sideways anyway, and love digressions. It's what he would have wanted.

FinsburyParkCarrots

I mean, regarding pietās, the idea of resentment in pity propagated by Forster, rather than good pity mentioned by Edgar in King Lear.

Jamal

Imho, pietas is latin fot pious ...

of course, that's only the way we've translated it in class for about 6 years straight

FinsburyParkCarrots

No need for the tongue out. I've spoken and written Latin since before you were born!

Oh, I see ... thx for educating me

btw, the tongue out was not meant as a ways of insulting your intelligence or anything, far from it...
I admire your work and show nothing but respect for people (I've found that to be more beneficial)

the word pet is most used when someone is speaking of an animal
more so than that is the idea of owning an animal
thats just my opinion
to me the word pet seems captive for ones amusement

Yeah, but I really DO like his work ...

next time though, Finsy, beware

DopeBeastie

I've never seen fins get pompous, a bit bogged down in language perhaps, but not pompous.

Thanks to all y'all for reading this, and for your kind thoughts.


All of my pets (except for the fish) are someone else's rejects. I'm down one cat and up one dog that needs kitties-are-not-to-be-eaten training so that I might retain the one cat I have left. She's the best cat we've ever had

who said he was? hence me using the present participle.

FinsburyParkCarrots

I'll be as fucking pompous as I fucking like. I saw PJ live tonight. Did you lot?

Just 9 more days my friend ..

Being Enlightened

Poor puddy-tat! Here's hoping the old dog can be taught new tricks...tricks that do not include swallowing the other kitty, unless of course the trick ends with kitty being regurgitated, alive, and in one piece... Ta-daaa!

Astral Star

Sorry about your little feline passing sweetie! Mine moved on last fall and here is a piece I wrote about her maybe you can relate:

My heart is heavy my wellspring is all tapped out
This penance I paid
Has far too much doubt
For the freedom of your soul
Too little to wear out
A little buttterfly
Within an angels stout

My baby she’s gone
In a fleet of an instant
Without a goodbye
She dove into the distant

No more surprises
When I greet her at home
No more sunrises
And I wondered where of she roamed

But how could I have ever made her captive
How could I have ever chained
Her down
When the depth of those ocean eyes
Told me she needed to play around
Around the ferns and the sycamore
And the cobble stone with mice
That she brought in to feed me
Not once but twice

The bond that we shared
Was mightier than thou
Strung up and soaring
Like a captain at the bow
Strong and sturdy
With time it would last
Beyond the wounds
And the haziness
Our love held so fast

Dear precious soul
May you be beyond peace
And roam in your home
With the greatest of beasts
May you delight in the
Feasts and run through the woods
And dine at the beaches in the
World without rules

DopeBeastie

I remember this. At least I believe I do. You posted it, I think

thanks to you, and to BeingEnlightened, too

JDE-PJ

sorry rach

r.i.p to your kitty.
