When all I do is purrrrr.....
I always take the rap for something I didn't do
I sit here on your lap and do nothing but love you
I don't ask for much a can of cat food a day
A little brushing to keep my cat fur smooth
Some dry food when my wet food is all gone
A couple of water bowls if I get thirsty
I ask for 2 waters please just incase I spill one
A cat toy would be nice
To keep me company only those lonely nights
You sometimes leave me in the afternoon
Other times you don't come home at all
I never get a phone call giving me a heads up
I just wait and wait by the door until you come in
You act like I have nothing better to do
You have a life and friends
I am by myself all hours of the day with a few stuffed animals that don't even talk
When you come home you act like I should come running
You are the one who didn't bring me with you
You walk in eating ice cream and didn't bring me one
How selfish can we get
I leave you half my cat food so we can share
All you ever do is go out and cook on the grille
You walk in with one steak rare the way I like it
I get all excited and you tell me
You know better!
Get down!
You want to keep the best piece for yourself
O.k. I admit it you deserve it
You worked all day
I can over look this one time
I don't have any sneakers and I give you hints by chewing on yours often
You get even more mad when I hop up on your favorite plant to catch your attention
Did you not know I walk around barefoot all day with only dust balls to chase
You get furious when your lamp is knocked over
All I ask for is a little light when it gets dark
I can't reach the switch and the pull chain is in impossible
You are angry when I race out the door when you come in
I have been cooped up all day why not call me a pig and stick me in a pen
At least they get fresh air and a tan
I get a window opened a crack just incase it rains
I get a breeze that comes once and awhile
I have to go from window to window to find some cool air
You yell at me when the curtains our moved
Get real there curtains are madeĀ of cloth not trimmed in gold
I race to the bathroom when you go in
You give me a box with a whole cut out
When I have to do my business I have to be real careful where I step
I cover it the best I can
You do scoop it out often
But when you stink out the bathroom you spray
So your poop smells like roses or a mountain meadow streeams
What do I get
A chin rub and critisized for the job that I do
You get to flush yours down the drain for good
I rush to the toilet and you slam the cover almost on my head
I just want you to be fair and give me little self respect
I get a bell for christmas that you put around my neck
How would you like to listen to Christmas bells ring everytime you move
What were you thinking?
When you get a headache you take a few aprins
I have to take a nap on an old pillow you were going to throw out
Instead you gave it to me as if it was a gift from Macys
I go in the bathroom to use a little toilet paper
The roll unwinds a little too far
I get scolded because you want to keep the Charmin all for yourself
I get fed scraps when you are to full to eat another bite
I wake you up early so you can find time to do things with me
All you want to do is sleep
I go to grab one of your slippers and try it on for size
You take it away and say you will put them in a safe place
Don't kid yourself their not that precious
They smell like foot odor and sweaty socks
I try to lay on your laptop since it is a little hard to reach the keys
You curse me I might break it
I think you are worried I am going to have more friends than you on Facebook
You call a dog a mans best friend
There has to be some changes around here
Lets begin with
I don't like those empty paper towel holders that roll around endlessly
They get me dizzy
Some day you might want to share a gallon of 1% milk with me
Instead of teasing me with one of those blue milk caps with the plastic ring
I don't like your early morning vacuming with the motor that runs out of control
I find the cords you have dangling so much fun
Remember I don't have a planet fitness membership to the gym like you
I have to exercise and make my own work outs
So next time your bring me in for a shot
Don't fool with me and say where going for a joy ride
I may be small but I can meow with the best of them
So when something breaks blame a ghost not your favorite kitten
Because I am yours to love over and over again
I would love a chocolate cake with candles on my next birthday
Meow meow that is the way I say I love you too

Dream On..I love this if for no other reason than it rings true. So many people forget that the little kitty left at home, alone, is just waiting for a little love and attention. You put it so clearly in kitty language...and some of this resonates w/(guilty!!) me. But, at least I have many kittys who spend time together when I'm away. You love the kitty; it's clear...great work.
My cat 'Max' just loves this poem he rolled over and over as I read it to him. He wanted me to say purrrrrrrrrrrrrrr meow (I agree) and thank you.
...yes I love your writing anyway - but this hub is a natural for me because my two best friends are Little Miss Tiffy and Mister Gabriel - and I hug them everyday and tell them that I love them - talk about a life - yes yes - dream on!!!!!! And they are living it!!!!!
