I’M
NOT A CAT


One thing is sure:
I’m not a cat;
I’ve no desire to chase a rat;
I have no tail or coat of fur;
Yet, when you’re near I purr, purr, purr.

I’m
like a cat to one extent:
This thing I do when I’m content—
It may sound funny, but it’s true—
I purr, purr, purr when I’m with you.

I
hate catnip; I don’t meow;
Still, to me, it’s amazing how
Something deep inside me you stir
That always makes me purr, purr, purr.

I don’t lap milk; I
have no fleas;
I have no claws for climbing trees;
I’m no cat, but when you’re around,
I make a purr, purr, purring sound
