A Cat's Life

In a cat's life.
We get a rubber mouse,
a shoe string,and a butterfly to play
with.

In a cat's life.
We get names like
Sylvester,Felix,Tom and Jerry,Morris,
and Garfield.

In a cat's life.
We chase
hamsters,mice,and rats,anything loose,
with a string attached.

In a cat's life.
We like a big bowl of warm milk.Crunchy
cat food nuggets.All filled with love.
We like tuna oil,and tuna fish,and gold
fish.Straight from the living room fish
tank.

In a cat's life.
We like to curl up next to our master, like a fluffy pillow,
weeping willow on a sofa bed.

In a cat's life.
We take off our mittens and booties.
As we leave our paw prints in the muddy soil.

In a cat's life..

Comment from Kate
I liked this poem for its simplicity. A cat’s life does seem rather idyllic sometimes especially when you watch them sleep all curled up tight on the sofa. They look so contented and safe that it makes you want to be a cosseted pet too.

I’m not a big fan of most poetry as I find it often hard to understand and unravel but this poem was simple and light and to the point, illustrating perfectly a cat’s life.

Thanks for submitting this to us Kim.
