If I was a cat with a long hairy tail you’d bring me to your home from a fare. Not a long time would pas by though when you’d satiate me with your love and care. When I’d prowl regally like a magical cat you’d call me your charming feline queen, as white as the first snow of the winter or as lovely as the spring lily with a sheen. Wherever you’d go on your daily errand, your warm company I’d always keep, pacing ahead of you in my swift strides, and every night beside you’d let me sleep. I’d climb and sit on your broad shoulder, or lounge leisurely on your plump thigh. You’d caress me with your gentle fingers and with their magical touch I’d feel high. I’d be pampered by you as your naughty child, to have me on your hold you’d race after me. You won’t even mind if I’d wet your clean sofa, for, to go to the assigned place I’d feel too lazy. As you’d stroke fondly my fur while I’d snooze, I’d wake up with purring melodic meow like a song, and to the food bowl you’d keep with care I’d run in a trance as fast as I could a distance not too long. At night when all the sounds would subside, the house would be a domain of dense dark hue, sleepless, you’d recline on the couch alone, my steps would create the lullaby tune for you.
