Cat Cuddles ----Or

He's curled up beside me 
as cute as cute can be 
but somehow he has got his claws
pressed firmly into my knee.

I think its just an ownership thing,
so I can't get away.
If he holds me in my place
I have no choice but to stay.

He looks so sweet and peaceful,
as long as I stay still
but I know I shouldn't move my leg
in case he decides to kill.

Sounds like you might need to keep the phone nearby to call 9-1-1, Francine... Declaw your cat? or wear protective gear? LOL Cats show their love in the strangest ways.
