I remember you found me
on that warm summer day
as you strolled into my house
in your royal kitty way.
When you wanted to go out
I tried to keep you inside
but that wouldn’t work
for your cute kitty pride.
Then you’d come home
after hunting in the woods
just so that you could eat
that good kitty food.
You only played games
when you chose to do so
you’d sneak up on that red dot
as you moved kitty slow.
When it went up the wall
it would disappear again
I could tell it confused
your little kitty brain.
You’d get so curious about
all the new things that I’d buy
as if you couldn’t believe
your cute kitty eyes.
You would act so brave
but that was just a lie
because you didn’t want to lose
one of your nine kitty lives.
Despite your worst fears
you just couldn’t resist
as if each interesting new thing
might be your kitty gift.
Also you knew you could
trust me and rush into my arms
if that interesting thing
set off your kitty alarms.
Then you’d saunter away
your tail held high in the air
until you encountered
another kitty scare.
Sometimes you’d lay on me
and look deep in my eyes
as you’d secretly tell me
of your kitty crimes.
Touching my face with your
claws carefully sheathed
you’d show that you loved me
with your soft kitty squeeze.
You would keep me so warm
as you rolled around on my lap
that I couldn’t have asked for
a better kitty kat.
I loved you and hugged you
every chance that I could
because I never met
another kitty so good.
