Notes About The Poem

This week's poetry challenge; If you were an animal. Written 7/13/26. Pic from animalia-life.club.

A Fat Fluffy Cat

If I were an animal, I would be a cat
A fat, fluffy white Persian kitty cat brat
I would sleep and lounge most of the day
And then at night make noise in every way

I would claw scratch the sofa, chairs and wall
Until caps are glued on to cover them all
I would like them in rainbow bright colors
As I am a glamour kitty and prettier than others

I would meow and rub along my owner’s legs
And not stop until treats are given after I beg
I will gladly then give a love bite on your arm
As it’s just a kiss from me, and will not harm

I would jump on the table and watch for birds
And loudly chatter about until we have words
I would then let you pet and rub my belly and ears
And hope to purr with enjoyment for many years

I would finally decide to sleep, curled in your lap
Until I decide to give your face a little paw tap
I would expect my food dish to be filled on the floor
Then would know, I'm loved and the cat you adore

What a fun poem, Tania. The paw tap to the face was my favorite part lol. I used to have a pure white cat. He was not fluffy but he was a ball of energy Tom cat.
