They sit upon their thrones, our feline friends-
aloof at times; to interact depends
on how they feel and what excites their mood
to offer mews- or simply stare and brood.
They are so regal with demanding ways-
yet come to rule our hearts with their displays.
And once we have their trust, expect a change;
no better loving pet can we arrange.
More full meows- more twirls around our feet-
jumping on laps with purrs, so soft and sweet.
Staring with eyes that somehow seem to know-
are we okay- do signs of sadness show?
So cozy at our feet, at night in bed,
curled like a ball or stretched from tail to head.
A friend for life- this love goes far beyond;
our gentle cats create a lasting bond.
And yet, their royalty remains intact;
when more than one, there is a feline pact.
A hierarchy's formed by one that rules-
instilled from jungle days survival tools-
evolved into a huge variety-
famed as "Sacred Meow Society".
