Friend
Feline companion, you treacherous soul,
Rubbing against me yet plotting to roll
In my basket of clothes, leaving white fur on black.
Empathy cat you most certainly lack.
Nor do you care where you sharpen your claws – yet
Dear friend I confess that my heart is still yours.

Love it. Not just acrostic but rhyming and so true.
Well said. Our animal friends are like family no matter their shortcomings.
Yep. Have become a ‘cat person’ and now have 4!
