Strange Cat Looking At Me

Strange Cat Watching Me


 A cat sits on the edge of a bed
Watching me watching him
Both of us thinking
What sort of strange creature this is
That has invaded our personal space
Upending our daily routines

The cat came up to me
Staring at me 
with his soulful eyes
Boring into my very soul
Looking for answers 
To these dark fundamental questions

The cat smiles a mysterious smile
And purrs in contentment 
Having found an answer of sorts
And indicates that we can be friends
As long as I know 
That he is the boss of me 

And I pet him
Acknowledging 
the time honored
Ritual of human cat interaction
That dates 
back to the dawn of time

When humans and cats 
First became aware
Of the other 
Strange creature 
that shared
our planet
