Jackson Cat If I didn't know better, I’d swear that you smile, listening to every word that is said. Sometimes you just like to sit and talk for a while, And I feel like I’m light in the head. If I didn't know better, I'd swear that you talk telling me just what you need. if you don't like the set-up you just sit and balk demanding attention indeed. If I didn't know better, I’d swear that you laughed, so happy to have morsels to eat. But you won't laugh if I mention a bath, not even with plenty of treats. If I didn't know better I'd swear that you cried, shed tears just like a baby. You rubbed up against me at my side saying, "This poor crazy cat lady." 7/13/16

They show no mercy, Janis, although my short haired domestic tends to dump them in a corner whenshe's bored with them and they run off. Great little write, good luck in the contest. Viv x
