Cat Sonnet

Such an independent mind
To bemuse, bewitch, bewilder, spellbind:
Winsome and Wary, Nimble and Naughty,
Curious and Charming, Sporty and Haughty.
Surpasses superior smiles,
Assesses us with wise, beguiling eyes.
Always faithful to feline law,
Whether providing peaceful purr or cruel claw.
Every cat a charismatic character,
From frolicking kitten to stalking spectre.
Cat behaviour, at times, so divine:
Onto our laps and into our hearts will climb.
Cats enhance everywhere
And tolerate us as we are.
