Who Runs This Home

*In memory of my beautiful sunshine-colored kitty who passed away in June, she will never be forgotten.  >^..^<


You stare at me
warm topaz eyes
          so serene
                mysterious...


warm amber glow
soft ball of fur
            you nestle down beside me
                  content

to be with me

asking only
to be scratched...

and to play with the pen I am using!

Stretching out lazily
and purring softly
              you allow me the privilege
                    of petting soft amber fur

          - while reaching yet again for my pen! -
                  (you don't give up easily!)

And now you've had enough;

hopping up to catch a pesky flea
then a bath
                you take such care to groom
                      your sunshine colored fur

Just as suddenly
you walk away
                casting a disdainful glance in my direction
                      tail fluffed and flouncing
                          to visit your food dish

We know who runs this home!
