Ginger furry skin
Sits the chunky cat
Delightfully sweet
He purs and stares.
The grey fat cat licks his coat wet
Cleaning himself expertly
The cat loves his furs
As he deepens his purs.
Black cats are slick
Their claws stick
To anything they pick
As they walk on by
Looking for a quick trick.
Meowing for a meal
A cat runs indoors
From a day out hunting
In the cold wintry rain
They eat hungrily
They sit by the fire
Or on their master's lap
Keen to have a nap.
