Cats

My cats are soft, my cats are sweet,
my cats prefer cat food to eat.
We use meows to have our talks.
They do their business in their box.
I love my cats because they're great,
they're cats that purr and like to play
though sometimes their choice toys are feet
under the covers fast asleep
and yet they pounce and wake me up
which can be very obnoxious
though sometimes I wake up and see
they're snuggled by my head asleep
and that is great and very cute,
these cats are friends, their friendship's true.
They're brothers so they cuddle 'till
one notices the other's tail
and then attacks and then they play
and keep me awake until day
breaks and I get up and go feed
them bowls of cat food, which they need
to eat because they have to live
and take all the love I can give
because I really love my cats
and put them on my head like hats.

I am very sorry about your dog. My advice as regards cats it to get two from a litter. Make sure that you like them a lot, of course, but my two kitties are brothers and they entertain each other when they are bored of me. They are both very sweet and come to me to sit in my lap, but I can't force them to if they don't want to. In this way they are independent, but definitely not overly so. And it's not a hassle whatsoever to have two cats instead of one. Good luck! & thanks for the nice comment

LOL wonderful writing here Zach !! I had to put my dog, Mister (that I've written a few poems about) to sleep in May and I think it is still sad for me. Everyone says I should get a cat but they are SO independent ... but since you have 2 together they'll probably stay closer with you. Thanks for this great write!!
