Am I a cat? [poem]
Am I a cat?
I bask in the sun,
I lay in your lap,
I find my own way,
I don’t like other cats.
You find my white hair
On anything black.
I’m fastidiously clean
And I love to nap.
Am I happy to see you?
Without a single doubt.
It’s not like I chase you
But I’m always around.
I’m sure that you know
What I do at night.
I come back to you
I’m glad it’s enough.
When I climb to bed,
I claim the warmest spot.
Those arms on my chest
Make me wanna purr.
Except when they don’t.
I’m up, I’m awake.
I jump up and down.
Get outta my way!
I’d like to be more human
In other people’s eyes.
They see me as a mutant
I see through all their lies.
I might be a bit feline
But I’m not your cat
I don’t own you either
You can hold on to that.

I take it from the place he left off. —I think that what it

No more swearing in English?
Somebody makes a pseudo-stupid joke at my son Quique in the street —something I’ll never understand. Pablo looks at me with his best “what the hell just happened, did you get it?” and our telepathy fails for a moment, and I have to make do with expressing my thoughts with words, and in front of
Eres una gata estupenda y achuchable :***
Siempre encantada de recibir sus achuchones, doña. ^___^ :-****
