Dear Cat,

Let me count the ways

Wait, no, that’s already been done.

Perhaps I’ll compare you to…

To…to…ugh, nope.

Your crescent eyes

Your silky fur

Wait, no, come back!

I promise I’m trying!

You just don’t know how hard it is

to write a poem about your cat.

What? Hey! No, don’t do that!

OUCH! Why are you biting me?

Hey! No, don’t scratch me!

No, don’t knock that!

Aww, I was still drinking that.

What are you doing now?

No. No, you get down.

No. NO! Get dowjnsjnvjn

Seriously? You think you can write this better?

Oww! Hey, that was uncalled for.

Stop biting me!

Ok, fine, just go away.

I’m going to write about the dog instead.

Hey buddy! Let’s see…

Wait, no, stay! STAY!!

UGH!!!! Gross!

God, now I gotta find a towel.

Love, Mom

    I love this poem so much. We have 5 dogs and 12 cats. Plus 3 tiny humans. Oh and a bunny. There are more animals than people in this house. To be fair, they are all emotional support animals. Not registered or anything since I own my home. But they are very emotionally supportive when they need to be. Hahah!
