The places cats prefer
Are those where they can purr
On a window ledge
Or a garden hedge
Anywhere they can be demure.
There is no place not theirs
Be it on the table or under the stairs
But they will not abide
No place to hide
From other cats putting on airs.
A cat will be circumspect
In deciding which place to select
But once settled there
It will no longer care
And will nap - instead of reflect.
