The Rubáiyát of a Persian Kitten

A mischievous Persian kitten considers the universe from the most important vantage point in creation: the pantry, the parlor, and every tempting corner of the household. In playful, rhyming verses, dawn becomes a golden cat, a tossed ball turns into a philosophical mystery, and an empty bowl raises questions grand enough for any poet—or any hungry kitten.

Blending mock wisdom with feline practicality, these poems wander through mice, birds, fish, mirrors, puddles, pussy-willows, and the intoxicating promise of catnip. The kitten’s reflections gently parody solemn meditations on fate, virtue, heaven, and death, while always returning to immediate concerns such as stolen bites, milk, naps, and avoiding the cook’s hose. Lighthearted, imaginative, and full of clever wordplay, this is a charming listen for anyone who enjoys classic verse viewed through whiskers, paws, and an unapologetically curious appetite.
