Kittens

Kittens

I must admit that I was smitten 
When I first saw my neighbours kitten
Curled up on the sofa, tiny ball of fire
Crawled up on my chest when I sat upon a chair

Tiny whiskers tickled my nose 
Warm fur brushing my cheek
Little noises came from the bundle
Alternating between a purr and a squeak

A sweet little furbaby melting my heart
I think I’m an ailurophile
I'm hesitant to depart
Cute pink pads on tiny grey paws
Curled up cuteness with tiny sharp claws

Such a pampered life, 
The life of a cat
I wish my life was just like that.
