My Cat Is a Hipster

My cat likes to sit in the window
He watches the passerby with a cool gaze
And though he cannot speak English
His meows are full of disdain

My cat likes to flick his tail back and forth
While he licks his hind parts 
Maybe there's a secret eternal
Or maybe he simply farted

My cat likes to listen to electro swing
And I see him swaying to Caravan Palace
He sure loves to dance on Saturday
But every day to him is Caturday

My cat likes to look at me solemnly 
Like he's seeing something dead in the trash can
He probably hates my existence
Even if I feed him every day

I actually have a clingy cat, she's always walking over the keyboard when I try to type, but this is a great poem for all catlovers - take care -
