The Underdog

cat looks to you for a steady feed occasional scratch vague companionship nothing more-nothing less... you're not his friend, you're his pet the times you're at your pinnacle is the time he's somewhat less... when your deep into your blueness is when he becomes quite oblivious. cat wishes for your demise his goal is simple (with iron paw)to rule the pride but size and numbers are not to his advantage he'll bide his time he's patient-wise, As you become to loving to suffocating to dull.. to heavy like a bored lover he'll split with only silent explanation.. leaving behind his artwork on the cherry wood headboard and a masterpiece in the litterbox cat doesn't care if he's busted your heart or obsess about his whereabouts he's always held a grudge because of: the castration the declawing the confinement the prisoners mash... out in the hard world of the vagabond you've made cat the heavy underdog

Anthony, I believe you are right. The cat punishes us for what we have put him through. Definitely!
