What is Love?

What is love?
Love is a paw on your lips in the morning to tell you they're hungry,  
Love is yelling at you when you don't hurry,  
Love is long whiskers, and big eyes,  
Love is fur lit by sunlit skies.  
Love is a slinky shadow, and a striped grey lynx,  
Love is a sunkissed, grey with tan Sphinx.  
Love is a trouble making-camouflaging-ninja-panther,  
Love is, in the corner of your vision, the cat running past, a blur.  
Love is a paw swinging at the clumsy, dog oaf,  
Love is a skinny string bean, and a curled up, fat, cat loaf,  
All curled up in your lap, smiling, purring,  
Love is a feline blessing.  
Love is jumping up to open all the doors and know what's going on all the time,  
Love is "hating" each other, yet being partners in crime.  
Love is curling up in your lap while you're on the toilet,  
Love is having it's own blanket, crotchet.  
Love is going outside and being an asshole who won't come back 'till after you call their names,  
Love is having several nicknames.  
Love is cursing you out under their breath,  
Love is worrying, every time they go outside, they'll face death.  
Love is jumping and snarling at a favorite string.  
Love is running,  
Love is cunning,  
Love is biting,  
Love is scratching,  
Love is fighting,  
Love is sweet,  
Love is neat,  
Love is humorous,  
Love is precious,  
Love is messy,  
Love is heavy,  
Love is picky,  
Love is finicky,  
Love is my Frankie Whiskers, and my Gumby.
