My Wild Cat

I have a loving, smart, Bengal wild cat
Many different behaviors he shows
He is strong and very dominant at that
He hates to be told what to do, he knows

So much, that sometimes when I turn around…
He reaches up and swats me in the ass!
Very vocal too, he is never without a sound
But, I have loved him, 15 years that have passed
