The cat rolls around

Asking for my attention.

Then he runs away.

šŸˆ

Lying in the sun,

Hoping to fend off the cold.

Kitty is happy.

šŸˆ

Rocking in a chair,

Warm cat purring on my lap.

This is happiness.

šŸˆ

Sitting next to me,

A pile of clean laundry,

Stalked by a kitten.

šŸˆ

A plaintive meow

Echoes through the apartment.

Kitten, I'm right here!

šŸˆ

Kitty in a box

That is quite too small for him.

Don't let him know that.

šŸˆ

Cat pushing boxes.

At least he is entertained.

But still, it's noisy!

šŸˆ

As the wind howls,

The cat dashes in your path,

You think, "What a storm."

šŸˆ

A chirp and a flop;

A bundle of fur upside down.

Kitten fell over.

šŸˆ

Things fall and crash while

Kitten explores his new home.

The joys of moving.

šŸˆ

Contented kitty,

Happy not to be alone,

Purrs like a motor.
