~Cat House ... Owned by the cat!~
Cat House.
They sleep on my couches
They sleep in my chairs
Everything’s covered
in clingy cat hairs!
There are cat hairs short
and cat hairs long
To whom, exactly,
does THAT belong?
There’s a rather large pile
on the floor…over there…
I must have backed over a tail
with my chair!
Anywhere you look
you’re apt to see…
Except for a knock on the door,
when they flee…
Well, all except Friday,
who thinks it’s cool
to announce to my guests,
In this house, WE rule!
Then stands there to make
his statement complete
“Your guests can wait,
I’d like to eat!”
It’s a special occasion—
“I know what I’ll wear!”…
(gasp)…
my evening gown’s covered
to the knees in CAT HAIR!
They’ve learned to push open
my closet doors!
Ok. I’ll put that
on my list of chores.
I can’t wear white
Because two are black
And one is grey
so I can’t wear black!
I believe I’ll start
a clothing line
For others owned
by cats like mine!
Sure, some will stare
with much shagrin
But around cat people,
we’ll always fit in!
And to that end,
there is much delight –
returning home…
later at night…
with another cat’s fur
and another cat’s smell…
That piercing look that says …
“…what the hell!???”
I won’t point fingers
and I won’t name names,
but this life we have
is fun and games
Even the scratches
(well, when they heal)
Life in a cat house
is quite the deal!
There is no denying –
I can’t hide the fact,
that I live in a home
where I’m owned
by the cat (s)!!!
