Notes About The Poem

Don't Displease Them

Cats like luxury,
And expect you
To provide it,
And feed them,
Then they decide
Whether to allow 
You to stroke them, 
Hug them, even maybe
Slightly squeeze them.

But always remember,
Cats don’t have owners,
They have staff,
So whatever you do,
Don’t displease them!
