Undeserving (For Trudy's Hopelessly Devoted Contest)

She is the most demanding cat who ever shared my home.
She stares at me so balefully till I do what she wants, 
And yet I love her more than any other cat I’ve owned.

She tramples on my feelings as she tramples on my plants
Then stalks away with nothing more than a disdainful glance.

Some people say of pussies, that you can’t tell them apart … 
I treat all mine as equals … but Pandora has my heart ...

I love this one. I have cats but they stay outside. We have a safe area for them. Cats are very indepent and you have to take them on their terms somewhat like most people. The cats have a place for them but they stay on top of the house most of the time the highest point where they know everything that goes on around here. Man if cats could talk. Keep writing. Sara
