does anybody have that cat poem, you know the one. not mary oliver's poem. the one about a cat growing up with you like brothers but him still being small whereas you've grown tall. i need a good cry
this poem is literally my last straw
Transcription of the poem for easier reading:
my cat is sad.
no one else in his family is a cat
we are all human except for him
he is excluded from most things
and no one tells him why
he just wants to play
and be loved
he looks at us with wonder
and disappointment
he says hello i am a cat what is my existence
what is that / why it and not me / please can you look at me and love me too
can i have some of your food please im sorry i dont like my food so much
do you want to play with my toys? this one is my favourite
do you like me
are we brothers
why didnt i grow up
why am i so small
can you help me be happy
where are you going
my cat is happy.
no one else in his family is a cat
we are all human except for him
he is the star of most things
and everyone tells him why
he just wants to play (he does)
and be loved (he is)
he looks at us with love
and playful disdain
he says hello i am a cat here is my existence
what is that / when can I sit on it / touch it / please can you look away from it I love you
can i have some of your food please im starving to death but yes I ate all mine why are you asking
do you want to play with my toys? this one is my favorite
i like you
you are my big brother
im never gonna grow up
im so small
but you lift me up and show me things
ill help you be happy
watch me go! (zoomies time)
