Ode to a Cat



Oh Killian, how you make us laugh.

Since the day we brought you home we knew you'd be so fun.
Flipping tricks and chasing sticks is all you really do, except for laying in the sun.

Taunting doggies off our deck is how you spend your day,
and when you pounce me (oh yes, only me!) in the night, it makes me want to say:

Oh Killian, how you make me mad.

Driving Bobby crazy is what you're meant to do.
Your cat hair goes everywhere - it makes him scoff at you.

Hiding up on top the fridge and scaring everyone in sight
is not a kind way to make friends, but gives you much delight!

Oh Killian, you just love being bad.

So tell me, high-maintenance Kitty, is it worth all our toil?
To clean your toilet, feed your belly and watch Bobby's temper boil?

"Oh yes", I say, "Indeed it is!" to watch him groan and wine.
Because, you see, the fact is he (the cat) thinks that everything is fine!

Oh Killian, you're just the king over everything, aren't you?

I didn't realize that Robert Frost had come to stay with you! That is a LOT to say about a single cat, who has so much personality.
