Marta, the standing objection to cat poems at TDE is not that one cannot write a good poem that has cats in it. The not-liking clause refers to the kind of cat poems that are gross amateur stuff like
How cute is not my cat,
sleeping on its mat.
I love my little cat
ginger-furred and squat.
It likes its tuna.
And would sooner
be with me than anybody
even though I'm fat.
The Sonnet here would, I'm sure, draw mostly rave reviews at TDE as here.
But doubtless someone will soon climb aboard this thread yawning, world-weary and unconvinced.
