I am Cat.
I like to lay in the sun-soaked
rectangles on the floor.
I feel so warm-sleepy-happy
deep inside my core.
I am Cat.
I want to eat the pointy plants
on my window sill.
If the humans could leave me be
I’d have my spiky fill.
I am Cat.
I bring the humans presents
that they quickly take away.
That legless cricket took hard work!
I’ll try again another day.
I am Cat.
I love the soft wet food
they put into my bowl.
The turkey fills my stomach
but the gravy feeds my soul.
I am Cat.
I will catch those birds one day,
that live behind the screen.
But for now I attack the floor
to show them what I mean.
I am Cat.
Sometimes it’s dark and doors are shut,
The humans trapped inside.
But then in morning they emerge!
I am glad they haven’t died.
