A SULKY CAT
Cats can be quite unforgiving, they
want to make you pay
For running off, leaving them alone for
more than one day,
Now Baxter Cat is no exception to
this golden rule,
The human he loves the most he treated
much too cruel.
No pussy kisses, no jumping up onto
warm cozy knees,
The icy cold stare he gives would make
any blood freeze,
Not even a friendly body rub gently
along her leg,
Waiting it seems, for his affection to make
her so humbly beg.
Even when she holds his brooming brush
he runs far away
And hides, does he know how he breaks
her heart each day?
Ignoring her as though she was not around
nose in the air,
The sulky cat others greets, but as for mom
he seems not to care.
Then softening at last some warming of
the cold icy gaze,
A furry head rises for a kiss and bright tears
her eyes haze,
As at last Baxter Cat eventually slowly
comes around,
For no cuter or more loving feline is
normally found.
After six days all is forgiven and his
loving kisses flow,
And onto the warm knee for many
cuddles he will go,
If he was this mad with mom after just
two short days,
What will he be like after a whole week
they all stay.
