Running from nothing

Fleeing from the dog

Why won't this cat simply

Lie like a log?

Hoewever crazy he seems

No matter what he acts like

I will always love my cat

Even with his fur spiked.

Sure, he's scary

Especially when he bares his claws

But I couldn't smile

Without the feel of his paws

On my back

In my sleep

To cure my sadness

Him, I shall keep.
