What Is A Cat?
Gentle eyes
that see so much,
paws that have
the quiet touch.
Purrs to signal
“all is well”
and show more love
than words can tell.
Graceful movements
touched with pride,
a calming presence
by our side.
A friendship
that will last and grow,
small wonder
why we love them so.
A Cat’s Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-size bed is soft and deep…
I sleep right in the center groove
My human can hardly move!
I’ve trapped her legs, she’s tucked in tight
And here is where I pass the night
No one disturbs me or dares intrude
Till morning comes and “I want food!”
I sneak up slowly to begin
My nibbles on my human’s chin.
She wakes up quickly, I have sharp teeth –
And my claws I will unsheath
For the morning’s here and it’s time to play
I always seem to get my way.
So thank you Lord for giving me
This human person that I see.
The one who hugs me and holds me tight
And sacrifices her bed at night.
Cat Kisses
Sandpaper kisses
on a cheek or a chin
that is the way
for a day to begin.
Sandpaper kisses
a cuddle and a purr
I have an alarm clock
that’s covered in fur!
I’m Only A Cat
I’m only a cat,
and I stay in my place…
Up there on your chair,
on your bed or your face!
I’m only a cat,
and I don’t finick much…
I’m happy with cream
and anchovies and such!
I’m only a cat,
and we’ll get along fine…
As long as you know
I’m not yours… you’re all mine!
You will always be in my heart and soul
