Felis catus, is your taxonomic nomenclature
an endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses,
contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talent.
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counter-balance
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Can note the fairly well developed cognitive array
And though you are not sentient spot, and do not comprehend
I none-the-less consider you, a true and valued friend.
