Felis catis, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal osculations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic prevalation
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counter balance;
and when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array;
and though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
