Does Your Cat have More Energy Than You?
At First I Thought Absolutely Not
Now I have to admit I might be wrong
My cat sleeps sixteen hours of every day
Then how is Miss Charlotte wearing me down
She wants food
She wants water
She wants attention
She wants to be left alone
She is in big trouble
She is up to no good
Where is she now?
She is in her poopy box
Then she is sleeping
Where?
Everywhere you can imagine
On our bed
On the couch on top of my brother's brown blanket
In her own cat bed behind the door
On the kitchen chair
Up in the backroom in hiding
Laying in the middle of the kitchen floor
On the footstool next to mom
Soaking up the sun next to the slider in the kitchen
Where is she climbing too
Up in the bathroom window
In our living room behind all kinds of stuff
In our clothes closet
In the kitchen closet
On our bedroom bureau
She has her favorite spots
In a small box in the kitchen
A big box in the living room
We call her condo
Then there are spots she never should go
Behind the t.v. set
Climbing in and on top of the refrigerator
Trying to get down the cellar when I am not looking
Out the kitchen door if you hold it open too long
She climbs high up on the tippy-top of the kitchen cabinets
On the kitchen table
Get down. get down.
Then she does things she shouldn't
Clawing the back of my wife's chair
Picking at my boots in the kitchen
Digging her nails into the headboard and side rail of our bed
When the day is done
There is nothing else to say or do
I think Charlotte did more than me
She wore me out
I'm exhausted
