My Life, as Mr. Kitty

Ariana R. Cherry-Shearer

Hello,


I am Mr. Kitty,

while I can be quite stubborn,

sometimes, I am just a great big loving furry baby.


I enjoy basking in the bright warm sun,

and even curling up in the lap or on the shoulder of my loved one.


One day, I decided to show up on the porch of my little family,

and from those few years ago through today, they decided to take me in

and love me.


I await their return from work and school at the end of each long day,

So that I can quickly bolt out the door to go outside and play.


As a kitty, perhaps I could never be so lucky,

that this family decided to take me in and adopt me.


At first, I was just a friendly stranger

but once I curled up in that young lady's lap,

I knew that my heart had captured her.


It was a few scraps here and there,

Little pieces of cheese, lunchmeat or whatever they could find and tear.


Before I knew it, it turned into large bowls of scrumptious flavorful cat food,

With all of this royal treatment, you can bet, I gave them my loving attitude.


I hope that I get to stay for many years to come,

I believe in my heart, that this family,

is my forever home,

My dearly chosen ones.

    I wonder if Booboo thinks alike. I know she's very attached to me.
