A real kittie is not a plush toy.

The saying is that copying is a sign of respect,

but to think a plush toy is the same as a cat is not a sure bet.

The Pusheen cat cartoon was created in 2010

that was before I was born or could hold a pen.

I acknowledge that I share her Japanese kawaiu aesthetic.

I am cute, lovable, charming, and innocent but not synthetic.

I can understand why my ‘look’ is so appealing

I have been told it makes people have a protective feeling.

As for habits, well, Pusheen loves simple joys like eating snacks,

and that chubby tabby plush toy like to nap and relax.

But I’m a real live kitten, and as you can see by my eyes,

being told energy and being curious is naughty is quite a surprise.

Any self-respecting kittie wants to explore the world.

Curtains are for climbing, furniture is for scratching

when you put a hand or foot near me, it means play attacking.

I am an expert at clawing furniture, knocking items off tables,

unrolling toilet paper and being cute like a cat in fables.

My silly humans tell me I am not a kitten anymore.

But cats have seven lives, each begins as a kitten in mythological lore.

I'm a one-of a kind real live kittie, and deserves respect.

I’m sure my masters know this because they are purrfect.
