Flighty cat, in a mood

says give me cuddles, give me food

let me out and let me in

scratch me underneath my chin

let me sleep upon the bed

let me climb onto your head

I will flex my claws and purr

I will shed a lot of fur

I will yowl and wail and mew

I will make a big todo

I love you in my own cat way

and so I’ll condescend to stay
