(with thanks to the creator of the original meme
and dedicated to Jemima, Sadie & Lagertha)

Is it for me?
Contrarily,
I don’t want it.
But that thing over there
That you withhold?
Oh, that’s what I need
And I need it NOW.
Miaou!

We snicker at the meme
And shake our wise human heads
At the whimsy of feline attitude (cattitude?)

And yet to me it seems
From many things I’ve said
From an uncomfortable lack of gratitude

The joke may be on me

My whiskers twitch with conviction
I feel an urgent need to wash my face
Surely I am at least part cat.
