A Cat For The Family

A Cat For The Family

 

We need a new cat

To take the other’s place

He’ll be a member of the family

And enjoy many days

 

We think a tabby good

Either yellow or gray will do

With it understood

A grand cat scratches too

 

He will catch some birds

At our feeder filled with seed

And mom will be disturbed

To find feathers of the deceased

 

There are lizards everywhere

That he’ll have to control

Whether little skinks

Or green anatoles

 

We need the cat to purr

And let us pet him some

No matter if he is disturbed

When his tail is pulled for fun

 

At times he’ll be aloof

And ignoring us in fact

And we’ll want him even more

To come meowing back

    Ahh yes, everyone should have a cat - or dog, or both. Except if living in high-rise flat. A fine write w c.

      Thanks, orchidee. We have cats and dogs- and they are like family.

      ive had two cats in my life
      now they are memories.
      I wish I could have another.
