And some other Quirks — that don’t make us Jerks — Poetic Pussycat Tale

A Pussy Cat Tale

We pussycats need to rest whenever possible — that’s who we are

But when our human is about to sleep — we meow to them Ra Ra

We try to make our humans love us more and more by the day

But as we lie upon our back for a scratch — we say buzz off ok!

We ignore our cat food bowl when there is something nice on your plate

And if we are quick, we snatch it and say — meooooow you are too late — mate

We are always there for you — when you return from work

And sidle up beside you — yes that’s another feline quirk

We give you that perfect telepathic wake up stare in the morning

That’s even when you are half asleep — with a wide mouth yawning

But we don’t always like it when you ignore us on your phone

And when that happens, we might just leave you be all alone

But when we want your full attention, we plan your catch

We sharpen up our claws — nudge your phone-and prepare to scratch

When you have guests come around, we might give them the evil eye

And observe them from a distance — like an undercover feline spy

Sometimes we will stare in the distance — as if in a meditative trance

And other times we just run around the house, meow, and dance

Yes, I have been known to perform the thousand-yard stare

Humans call it PTSD — suffered harsh cruelty by those with little care

But now my condition has improved — yes, I’m not so wild

Because my human Seaspray D treats me as an equal — and not a child

We work very hard as a literary team — and sometimes with much tedium

To bring love to all sentient beings on our platform — our home called Medium

MeooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW for now dear readers

Until next time
