Cats That Purr Do Not Roar
Listen to poem:
Cats that purr, do not roar; Cats that roar, do not purr.
Lions and tigers roar with bluster
With all the might they can muster.
But, take them home for a cuddle
And their purr is just a muddle.
Bobcats purr like thunder.
Enough to shake you under.
But bobcat's roar is only strut and bluff
Their roar in silence, just huff and puff.
Mountain lions are just the same
All purr and no roar, their game
They purr when happy, when licking their paws,
Even when angry, their purrs don't pause.
But try this at home and it may surprise you
Get your cat happy and purring anew.
Then run a tap nearby, in sink or tub
And the sound will make cat purr scrub.
