I call you kitten but you are really not that
You are a friendly full grown cat
You jump on me and knead my chest
Seems like you know I love you best

Playful and mischievous, that is you
You cheer me up when I am blue
The way you move around the house
Always searching for the elusive mouse

I see the way you treat the rest
Somehow you always pass their tests
A flick of your tail, puts them in their place
As you sit and carefully wash your face

The affection you show makes me glad
That I am your ever loving Dad
