A Cat Owner's Prayer

 

A Cat's Prayer
 
 
Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-size bed is soft and deep...
I sleep right in the center groove
My human can hardly move!
I've trapped her legs, she's tucked in tight
And here is where I pass the night
No one disturbs me or dares intrude
Till morning comes and "I want food!"
I sneak up slowly to begin
My nibbles on my human's chin.
She wakes up quickly, I have sharp teeth -
And my claws I will unsheath
For the morning's here and it's time to play
I always seem to get my way.
So thank you Lord for giving me
This human person that I see.
The one who hugs me and holds me tight
And sacrifices her bed at night.

  1. So cute. Ink slept with us for 20-30 min. after we went to bed. He'd then want attention and jump on and off the dressers until I banished him from the room. When we got Calli and Quill, they were so small I was worried about crushing them while we slept. The bedroom is off limits to them at night.

  2. I really smiled at this one. Bosco often sleeps on my legs at night. He's a heavy cat and I'm often nearly paralyzed by morning!
