I come from a long line
Of kings and queens
So call me “Your Majesty”.
That’s appropriate, it seems.
I know how to rule.
That comes naturally.
This house is my kingdom
I know you agree.
It’s really quite fun
Being a cat
And the boss of everything.
You can’t beat that.
I stay snug on my throne.
I know that you thought
That chair was yours,
But, really, it’s not.
I am a watcher.
I like to watch you.
I am most curious
To see what you do.
I watch when you’re reading
And when you eat.
I watch you on the toilet
When you take a seat.
Maybe you’re wondering
How I got up there.
It’s my most favorite place
To just sit and stare.
Of course I can get down
When I climb high in a tree.
But it’s easier if a fireman
Will come rescue me.
Yes, cats are for napping.
We do that the best.
After all of our thinking,
We need the rest.
It may look like I’m sleeping
And feeling no strife,
But, I’m actually planning
The rest of your life.
I let you settle in your chair
When you want to read
And then I’ll jump up
And take the space that I need.
I’ll bring you mice
And I’ll bring you bugs
And maybe a snake
In trade for a hug.
I stay off of the counters
When you are at home.
But when you are gone,
They’re mine to roam.
I love to hear
Your voice when you call
But the can opener sound
Is my most favorite of all.
I love to eat.
Stinky fish is so good.
My meow is to tell you,
“Hurry up with my food!”
