Cat Ass Trophy
She may curl up on your lap
Like a dog to have a nap
She may lounge on the piano lid
Or on the keys like Mozart did
She may stretch out on the window ledge
Or in the garden, sleeping under the hedge
Or on the lawn or in the tree top
Sitting on the fence is a place to stop
Lounges for a short time on a hot tin roof
she'll walk with a swagger; oh so aloof
she will catch the occasional mouse
and drag its dead carcase into the house
she simply won't be told what to do
sometimes crazy, sometimes blue
she's not like a dog stupid and crass
she is independent, full of sass
she never plays fetch the ball or stick
no matter the throw, no matter the kick
she likes to be stroked, it makes her purr
with her scratchy tongue she cleans her fur
she's tiger and with claws and teeth she strikes
She will sleep anywhere she bloody well likes

Cats are both lazy and indolent! But they're also loving and sincere. No pretense! This captures their spirit purrrrrfectly. 🐈

agreed but A human can never own a cat as a pet (like a dog) - they are too wise and independent in comparison :-))))
thank you my friend for the read and the comments (even the purr pun.)
:-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Nobody told my cats they shouldn't play fetch. But they definitely got the other feline traits down as you've portrayed them. Mine have been playing nurse to me for the past couple days. Wouldn't trade them for the world. Lots of hugs!! :-)

They are beautifully free in their independence ... and yet give love and attention when needed... I find their antics purrrrfectly entertaining .. 😊
