Kitties Don'T Eat Broccoli

My calico Samii Has a unique personality But her peculiar eating habits Deeply amazes me. Whenever I have dinner Steak, Delmonico potatoes, broccoli and salad, Samii always gets into the act Before I even get started. I hardly notice anything wrong Or should I say....missing! And then my steak starts to disappear, "Oh, Samii, how could you? But kitties don't eat broccoli! Well, I'm not going to discard the rest Just because of you. I have to eat, too!" Even her actions speak louder than words Samii hops upon my portable washer, Nudges my cheek, And stretched out her paw To grab a morsel of of steak off my plate. She lets out an echoing meow: "Give me a piece, please, please...." One cannot resists, and eventually, I give in to her annoying request. Then, of course she wants another piece. When I have pina colada in a cup for dessert I usually leave an inch Just for Samii Otherwise, she'll meow: "What about me?" Her outrageous behavior Makes me laugh so much That I now enjoy Watching her crazy antics. Samii sticks her paw in the cup To scoop up the pina colada And then licks it off her paw. She savors every single lick. Her satisfied taste for my food Apparently is much better Than her catnip d'or.

Dear Valerie, cats are so much fun to have as pets and you can't predict what they'll enjoy eating. Mine turned their noses up at the catnip, but if there was melted ice cream in a bowl, look out. I've heard some eat pizza, but broccoli is a new one! LOL Congratulations!
