The Opportunist Cat

The Opportunist Cat

By Becca Brown

Oh kitty why such secrecy

I try to find you but you flee

I spy you sleeping peacefully

Then SCAT you pull a grand Houdini

He he he

Don't run from me

We'll cuddle kitty

Wait and see!

I am elusive, I'm a sneak

I disappear without a streak

Throughout the house I carefully sneak

Avoiding noise and kid physiques

He he he

You can't catch me

I'll hide completely

Wait and see!

Your fur's so smooth so fun to pet

The softest thing I ever met

Why won't you play don't run don't fret

I will not take you to the vet

He he he

Don't run from me

We'll cuddle kitty

Wait and see!

I'm ready to eat dinner now

Where are you humans? I want chow!

For food I'll snuggle and allow

The kids to pet me, prr...meow!

He he he

You can't catch me

I'll hide completely

Wait and see!

I know you're hungry, I'm not dumb

You hop on me, expose your tum

Well snuggle up, but you've become

My opportunist chum!
