Cat's Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like mice,
And sofa cushions, soft and nice.
=^..^=
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
And someone nice to scratch my back,
For windowsills all warm and bright,
For shadows to explore at night.
=^..^=
I pray I'll always stay real cool,
and keep the secret feline rule,
To NEVER tell a human that
The world is really ruled by Cats !

They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a cat."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a cat."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a cat", but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a cat", and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a cat" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a cat" then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a cat" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
