Jealous Cat
Soft and fluffy
Ball of fur
Curled up tight
Contented purr
His favourite place
Right on her lap
But Hey what's this?
A DATING APP!
Am I not the one
Who gives her Love?
Now all of a sudden
It isn't enough
Her eyes are glowing
As she scrolls
The screen
All these faces
I've never seen
I don't see men
Just a bunch of mice
If they come round 'ere
I'll scratch out their eyes
I can hear her calling
Her best mate Trish
Can't stop talking
About plenty of fish
That used to mean
She was fixing my supper
Now all she wants
Is a human lover
Here he is
Knock at the door
Hang on a sec
While I sharpen
My claws
With whiskers twitching
I start to growl
Next thing I know
He swans around
In a towel
He can't be making
This his home
I'm being ignored
I'm left alone
So I wrap my tail
Around her leg
Still she'd rather be
With Him instead
These days she sits
Upon his lap
It's all too much
I'm gonna snap
So I grab a pair
Of his favourite pants
I'll put stop
to this sickening romance
In Sunday's undies
Just a few fleas
And the next day
A couple of bees
Snug in my corner
Smuggly I watch
As he's stung
On his bum
And itching
His crotch
Mr plenty o fish
Was thrown back
To the sea
Now every fins
Purrfect
For my cat mom
And me
