I’m adored
I am adorable
I am lithe and quick to kill
I am soft and I am furry
I make children laugh and squeal
I have claws and I use them
To temper peoples ways
I have teeth and I use them
To eat mice and get the praise
I am aloof but I love you
Though I show it not
When I go out tonight
I will show you what I’ve caught!
Hope you like my presents
They are for you to behold
My gifts are gifts of love
From a cat that is like gold
I perch upon the sofa arm
I purr at your light touch
You love me so, I know it
And I love you as much
You had me since a kitten
For that I am truly grateful
We’ll be together till the end
Right until the fateful
