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 defences. I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal 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 talents: 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 Connote a 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.
