Feline Troubles

I lay myself flat.

I am a cat.

I've nibbled a rat's ear.

Today and yesteryear.

It tasted dank.

But smelled delicious.

I will check the cup last drank.

As well as the human’s dishes.

He asks me to leave the kitchen.

But I just slowly curl in my favorite position.

He wants me to show him affection.

But I have no such intention.

For I no longer want to be your supposed slave.

Want you no longer as a delusional master.

I heard you speak of me to shave.

But you can not have my fur of alabaster.

I am not your cat.

And that is that.
