Tigger

I was lonely living in a cats rescue 
then my destined family came along
how wonderful that day when I met you
knowing then to you I wanted to belong,

when I arrived at my future new home
excited, strange smells, now I must explore 
an whole house, big garden for me to roam
this couldn't be better, I couldn't ask for more,

by the way they kept my name, it's Tigger
I'm a tabby, got a bit of a cheek
not very big in fact I wish I was bigger
never mind I've got some bedrooms to peek,

now I'm in my new home I will decide 
which family member to please, adopt 
first find a nice warm place to sleep and hide
cosy cupboard or wardrobe if unlocked,

oh I will make them adore me, I'm cute
will allow them some love and affection 
but only if I'm in the mood, I'm no brute
I'm a pussy cat, could say perfection,

now I'm settled in, set the boundary 
they know where they stand, they know all my needs
fuss me if I want, then there's no quandary 
just take care of me, I eat expensive feeds,

I like to go roaming during night-time hours
they don't know where I am, or where I've been
but they know they’re mine, under my powers
now you know, Tigger is the undisputed QUEEN.

Carole Duet Date: 9/2/2018 12:40:00 PM I love this, Roy, and I love cats and I find it so funny and appropriate that your last name is "Pett". lol A loving cat can make a wonderful "pet".
