Cats - An Acquired Taste

Dedicated to Babyface and Damienne

By definition
Catty
Aloof
Temperamental

They ignore you when you call
Slink around your legs
When you least expect it
Rub up against you when it suits them
Take a bite out of your hand when it doesn’t.
Purr and roll over
Tease you with a flick of a tail
Slink away in disgust
To leave you grovelling in the dust.

For unconditional love doled out by the dollop
Get a dog or a teddy-bear.

A sucker for cats?
Must be a masochist
Like me.
