My Cat

I woke up this morning
in my warm comfy bed.
No one was there but my cat.

She sat on her perch unseen
looking at me
feeling like a queen.

Now this is a normal occurrence in my house,
            I only wish she was as quite as a mouse;
cause some mornings she’s cranky and whining
            while others she’s simply reclining.

She sleeps most of the day and wakes up to play
or eat treading around my bare feet.
I have to watch out
                        or her tail, I have no doubt,
                                                will be caught making her shout.

I love my orange stripe tabby.
            She jumps,
                        runs,
                                                and bites for fun
then curls up by me for a nap.
