The Cat's Pajamas

A housecat, Orange, Plump. Stalking dustbunnies With high ambitions. Self consumed With imitations Of ancestors. Giant tigers and regal lions are emulated comically By this chubby domestic. The never ending battle Of the red dot. Warfare with the feather. Abushing houseplants with zeal. Ackward leaps that fall short. Oh, the irony of the cat, To whom the livingroom is the Serengeti. And yet are not the big cats immitating the small? Even Lions may purr, And Tigers sleep the day away. Large teeth and claws But dreams of peace and litterboxes. One day I hope That every cat, large and small, may learn to purr in contentment of their own situation.
