My cat, thou art a creature of delight, With eyes that sparkle and a coat so sleek. Thou hast a mind that knows both day and night, And feelings that are subtle and unique.
Thou canst be proud and haughty, or be sweet, And show affection with a gentle purr. Thou canst be angry, or be calm and neat, And curl up on my lap like finest fur.
Thou art a descendant of the ancient ones, Who worshipped Bastet, the goddess fair. She gave thee grace and beauty, and the suns That shine upon thy face and make thee rare.
My cat, thou art a wonder to behold, A friend, a companion, and a soul of gold.
