My Cat Named Mischievous

My cat is aptly named Mischievous 
A little ball of fur 
She doesn't weigh much 
But how dearly I love her 

She always spills her milk 
Then licks her whiskers clean 
She doesn't do it on purpose 
She doesn't seem to be mean 

She lays on the carpet 
Rolled up into a ball 
In her mind she is thinking 
I might trip and fall 

She's always hiding somewhere 
Especially underneath my chair 
Suddenly she jumps out 
Trying to give me a scare 

I wouldn't trade her for anything 
She is so precious to me 
Even though she is Mischievous 
It's very plain to see 

She's always under foot 
Especially when I am trying to work 
In her mind 
I'm the one who is the jerk 

In spite of all this 
We will have a little chat 
I'll try to make her understand 
But darn it I don't speak cat
