The Ultimate Feline

She sits in her basket Purring gently away Wondering why you waste your time Running from day to day You clean up her basket You give her time to play Serve her fish of salmon And she just walks away Licking at her fur Watching every move A hunter and a predator With nothing yet to prove She teases your dog But doesn’t make a sound She simply walks slowly Past the window by the ground And here she plays the victim So settled in her ways She keeps you in amazement Intrigues you with her gaze She cuddles when she is lonely And wanders for days alone Through the streets she creeps along A place she often roams She smiles as you walk past She looks into your eyes Cunning and so feminine She has you hypnotized And though you call her pet And stroke upon her back It’s you that is the slave And she that is the cat Nadine Hof
