Felines or cats can be fuzzy, warm and cute
They are ferocious, wild or can be mute
They vary in colors, and can be large or small
They climb mountains, trees and even crawl
Pondering every step, as they move all about
They tear apart the furniture, then they want out
When they go hunting, they bring a mouse to the door
We have not figured out why, but we want no more
They say cats have nine lives, I wish we did too
Because for every mouse that gets away, they seem to bring two
They do their business in a litter box, which is very good
I have problems aiming for the bowl, even though I should
They need a lot of attention, and also a lot of love
But for heaven's sake I ask, "Please stop bringing home those doves."
They bring us home these presents, which I really do not need
The worst thing is they do this, but not to feed
She has that goofy grin on her face, when she wants back in
And, of course, I must open that disgusting food in the tin
I always wondered what died in there before they sealed it up
Because its contents are not worthy, even for a pup
Well here they come again, what do they want from me?
More food? Inside, outside or just another pee
I love them to death because they are my cats
Now if they would just catch the rats!
