Cats
Cats are all that
Sassy and fat
Living their days as they please
Sunning and sleeping
Yawning and creeping
Napping in summer’s sweet breeze
Chasing some birds
Not hearing my words
Insisting they need to be fed
An invisible toy
Seems to bring so much joy
As does leaving their fur on my bed
Digging in plants
Playing with ants
Scaling the yard’s highest wall
As they purr with content
Their whole day is spent
Doing absolutely no work at all
We expect nothing more
A cat has no chore
They are free to dream life away
We pamper and pet
But we never forget
It is homage to them we must pay
At the end of this life
I won’t have to think twice
I intend to come back as a cat
No more daily grind
A servant who's kind
I’ll be the Queen, quite happy and fat

Yes, cats have it good when they
have staff to take care of them.

I have 13 cats and I have to agree. You feed and water them, clean their litter box, they have it made! But I couldn't live without my babies and their unconditional love. I really enjoyed this, and yes, I think the cats of today were very good people reincarnated. Purrfect.
