Crazy Cat Lady

As a child she wasn't allowed to own pets always pretending to be a kitty herself as an outlet now on her own and retired she owned a dozen cats preferring them over dogs thinking this is where its at, They'd dart here and there and follow her around some hanging from the ceiling fans about to plop down on her hair or her shoulders while she sat on the couch watching Animal Planet with a cheshire grin on her mouth, Every day she'd play her most favorite song "Whats New Pussycat?" while singing along picking up a cat or two and dancing around while the other cats did acrobats on the ground, Feeling antsy she'd take them out for a walk all piled in a baby carriage people would talk with her cats meowing and causing quite a commotion she'd soothe them with her baby talk and cat like motions, Her neighbors would try their hardest not to stare as the crazy cat lady would pass by with feline flair always asking how she was, yet knowing what to expect her constant reply always being, "just purrrrrrfect!" 1-6-17
