my cat

my cat prowls

around her domain

stops

to scratch.

she, like me,

begs for attention

with head butts

and wide-eyed pleading

curls up

on record sleeves

and stares across the room.

often to be found

sleeping in the cupboard

on my boyfriend's old t-shirts

or else in the laundry basket

curled up

in dirty towels.

she eats from a little bowl

and leaves black hairs

all over my bathtub

offers little kisses

to the current inhabitant

she likes to play

with her litter.

she stares at the washing machine

and hides from hubert.

i am looking at her now,

she yelps, startled

and licks the glossy fur on her stomach.

You've portrayed they're fun, curious little ways perfectly.
