Cat Foot Complaint

CAT FOOT COMPLAINT I have received a complaint from My cat’s back foot, starboard side. Why is it always me for the old chin-kick scratch? Or for poking fleas from his ears? Always me when he wants to jump the eight-foot wall in a hurry? And what about burying the once-a-day-material ! ! Who has to fill-and-cover? It’s always me the kids pull as I try to escape From being dressed as a baby doll On a hot summer’s day. And when I walk down the piano scale Why is it always me who has to play the black notes? All the other guys are on white. And , you know, on the window sill I never get to see the view: That massive tail is always curled up and over me.
