It's a Cat's Life

Cozy, snuggly, curled up tight People think I'm sleeping, but that is far from being right, With one eye open, the other tightly shut I plough the very trade refined by every cat. Quiet adoration amongst the whispered sighs For this wonderful creation, nature's wily prize. And all the while I'm lounging, perched upon my throne Surveying my domain from this place I call home. I'm fed and duly watered, patted when I wish, My life a constant slumber, something I call Bliss, As to these poor humans, scurrying around Their feet so often frantic, they barely touch the ground, The one piece of advice I freely choose to give, Is simply look at me and learn from how I live!

This is so true! I have 4 cats and they live a life of leisure and play. They are the ones running the house, not us! I enjoyed your poem! Blessings, Kim M

Hi! Dr.Ippaso, I enjoyed your poem because you accurately captured their characters. My grandma used to say that you don't own a cat; rather, cats own you. Blessings ~ Debra
