The Cat Lady

Lady          
                                 is tired
                                goes to bed
                              the cat follows
                              she turns on her side 
                             the cat jumps on the bed    
                             then circling around her
                             the cat will lay with the lady
                            on the inside of her arm sleeping
                           never moving staying there all evening

Non cat owners do not understand, a grown cat is noeither a kitten or a puppy. It does not fuss and play at night. Cars are serenity plus..Pangie
