Johnny the Cat (Thursday Doors)

In The Pet Market lives Johnny the Cat—
he dines well—some might call him fat.
A king on his throne,
he is always at home–
and allows the occasional pat.

This post was inspired by David’s W3 prompt this week to write about something amusing. I’m always delighted to see Johnny the Cat when I’m in my old neighborhood, and these pictures were taken at various times over the last few years. He’s not really fat, but he’s certainly treated royally, and is a neighborhood institution.

He keeps an eye on things…

from many angles.

New York is famous for its bodega cats, but Johnny has a life most deli cats would envy.

You can always find more doors at Thursday Doors, hosted by Dan Antion.

And in honor of Johnny, some music from Chuck Berry that is sure to make you smile (and dance–although perhaps in a bit less of a frenzied manner).
