Owned By a Cat
OWNED BY A CAT
to all feline fans who know it’s true
acknowledge, accept and concede
our alluring furry friends sweet mew
steal hearts with mischievous deed
what could be more endearing than
a tiny kitten to love and adore
with playful and needy game plan
who could possibly ask for more
with shrewd precision and no shame
stipulated needs are made known
chairs and beds they name and claim
precision meal time demands shown
at shut doors and windows they stare
believing they command the home
crafty behaviour to keep us aware
they own our daily routine dome
yet apparent evidence of this truth
that they own us in servitude
cat lovers are blessed with proof
they melt our hearts in magnitude
