The CAT

This morning I greeted the Sun and began my prayers
and my soft gray cat interupted.
Doesn't she know this is not her time?

I used to like cats when I was a kid.
I tamed a wild one once by singing to him,
and bringing food...he was my darling.

I rescued Suzie.
She was in the road
next to three siblings tied in a Kroger bag . . .
I couldn't pass by and do nothing.

So I have a cat
because my son and husband became attached.
She likes me . . .
even though I ignore her

She sidles into my prayers,
and invades the bathroom
when I'm drying my hair)
to use the litter box.

She jumps onto the bed
and positions herself on top of me
purring as loud as she can for my attention at 4:30 every morning an hour before the alarm is set.

When I open a can for my lunch
She acts like I am God. I give her half my tuna.
Doesn't she know . . .
I'm not a cat person?

What's that???
She jumps up onto my chair and positions herself like I'm invisible and I can hear her words . . .
I have to agree.

While I am not a fan of cats,
I have become a "Suzie" person.
Problem is . . . the CAT knows it.
