My Family of Cats

My family of cats

By Lisa Ann Noe



Once upon a time I felt and saw

A soft little gray kitty paw.

It pawed at me as to say hello

This little kitten sure put on a show.

"Meow," it said as it looked at me

With eyes so big and emerald green.

A nose so pink as to make you woo

To this little kitty I say I love you.

Sharp little fangs and claws

It nuzzles me upon my jaw.

I think she loves me in her own way

If she could talk what would that kitten say.



She’d tell me she owns me

I’m hers, I’m not free.

She commands me to pet her, and this I do

She tells me to feed her and water her too.

She tells me clean her litter pan

She makes me let her out on my land.

She wants a mate so this I find one for her

A sweet little boy cat with black and white fur.

They shall have a family, I'll deliver her kits

It is a never ending battle of wills and wits.

I’m happy to have this cat family you see

They are so very special to me.



In memory of Mingo
