Cat Intuition

There are times, I wish I were a cat
Sleeping, eating, stretching, 
then start over again
but he sees the pain around us
I know he feels our broken hearts
around the loss of our son
He sticks closer these days and
the days that are the hardest, I end
up with a lapful of cat, and a cold nose
on my neck.  He's a love,
when we really need it right now
