Orange stripes wrap him

In a bold display of fur

And yellow eyes peer forth

Before he pounces in a blur

With his toy subdued

He settles down for a purr


But not for long mind you

This cat has things to do

He must vanquish the spiders

And tear the toilet paper through

Then after a languished scolding

He rolls over on his back

Pawing at the ceiling

Begging a polite and playful attack


Before long he sleeps

The best way to keep a throne

He dreams of wild hunts

And of wild sprawling plains to roam


Then with a long stretch

That sets his tail a-twitching

He jumps into my lap

A/N:

I had such an AWESOME cat!  He was da bomb.
