1. My cat is a true companion
And a loyal friend of the house

2. She is like a doll in the house
When still and not moving around

3. But when she stirs and walks about
She adds life and fun in the house

4. Her job is catching mice to clean
The shelves and attic of the house

5. She prays dusk and dawn
With graceful rituals and moves

6. Of clothes she owns only a fur coat
Whenever it gets dirty or infested

7. With roaming fleas and bugs
She washes and grooms it

8. With gentle care and tact
Mixing soap and water like dough

9. Making the soap and water smooth
Never stinking up eyes and nose

10. And accustomed to nice clean clothes
For clothes on a person bespeak

11. The character and taste, it shows
