Precious - My Cat

There is something I could dwell on, that - I won't deny! I love Precious, very much let me pause to tell you why. When I slip into my easy chair at night to watch T.V.. She drapes herself beside me, her pillow is my knee. Her purring's slightly muffled, she's feeling so serene. She doesn't try to stay awake, it's such a peacefull scene! Her feet are hanging off the edge, but she doesn't seem to care. It makes me feel contented, to have her lying there!

oh, mY how did I ever miss a poem about a cat. This cat sounds amazing. I wish I had a precious one like that. I just have a Sookie and a Lilah, and neither very affectionate!!

I don't have a cat now, but I've had them in the past. Mine were just like yours. This is a very descriptive write with nice rhyming.
