Jingle

I can hear my cat running
so I can tell when he is coming

He has a collar with a bell
and this story I will tell

He has a little nickname
a Native American surname

It's Little Chief Big Paw
though it is a tiny claw

He acts comparable to a wild cat
from the jungle or somewhere similar to that

He rarely makes a verbal sound
even when he's laying upside down

When his daddy goes outside
that's when he meows and will cry

His dad meaning my husband 
while I'm his mommy Angie as you've read

You'd regard him as a Bengal
except when you hear that little jingle
