Watching My Kitty Cat

 
I watch my kitty playing every day,
she insists on it as she is quite spoiled:
true, I am the reason she is this way,
you see she came at five years quite unspoiled;
unable to play-  now she is embroiled ! 

She was a rescue all tattered and scared,
I washed her and tried to get her to play:
dangling toys and rolling balls as she stared,
then, that sad gray cat had a happy way;
now walks with her tail high and a sweet sway !

In the morning she gives kisses and purrs,
and my bed is full of her toys waiting:
she has been bringing all those toys of hers,
meowing loudly while I am sleeping;
I must wake for she is captivating !

I have never had a more serene cat,
but, when she plays it can get wild and rough:
often, she just comes to me for a chat,
at times, she is just some rolling gray fluff ;
I watch till she stops sighing-  enough !

David Smith July 7, 2023 at 6:29 PM As a cat person I can relate. Our cat is spoiled also. unlike other cats we have had this one sticks around when visitors comes and steals your seat if you leave it even for a moment. Good to see you are still posting, and glad I have got back to look at your work again. Take care David in NZ. ps We now have a grandson who will be 5 in February. Constance La France July 8, 2023 at 10:12 AM David, nice to hear from you, congrats on your grandson, I have a great niece, imagine that, who just turned. Yes, us cat people will understand this poem and know exactly what I am writing about. I think pets are angels sent to us by God, Blessings
