All To Be Nice To a Cat

Shark my cat is
Sneaking up ….
He pounces.
On my leg.
Ouch!

I heard him
Already.
He has this
Happy yelp
He makes when
He sees me.


I am allergic
To him.
He knows not this.
Only that he wants
To rub up against
My leg,

This means I can 
Sneeze my way
Back into the house.
But I am not
Ruining it for him.

He gets little
Comfort from
Humans.  Our
Grandchildren 
Give him a pet
Once in a while.

But he scares my
Husband, and
KERCHOO!
I am sneezing now,
And my eyes are turning
Red.  All to be nice to
A cat.

Oh you are so nice to the cat. Maybe you could find a way around the allergy? Do they make anything to fight it?

Cats are very independent but like a bit of fuss.
