Only the Best

In her cupboards
are dried herbs,
spices and condiments.
She keeps the kitchen clean,
the pantry clean
but no food except for cat food,
cans and cans of cat food,
wet cat meats in stacked tins.
Only the best, good quality cuisine
fit for her and her cats.
The cats will not consume
the food if spiced or seasoned.
Over the years
her tastes have changed
now she takes no spices,
but her whiskers tingle
at the thought of catnip.
