Never Just a Cat. A poem for International Cat Day.

Some people say a cat
Is simply just a cat.

Cat’s simply like a lap,
That is flat.
They love a nap.
Unperturbed they never flap
Or stop to chat.
That’s all there is to a cat.

Or is there more to them than that?

A cat can proudly walk,
Or quietly stalk.
Chide you hourly with a squawk,
Their version of back talk.
Watch you keenly like a hawk.
As opposite to you as cheese to chalk.

So really a cat is never just that,
No cat is simply just a cat.
