Kittens I must admit that I was smitten When I first saw my neighbours kitten Curled up on the sofa, tiny ball of fire Crawled up on my chest when I sat upon a chair Tiny whiskers tickled my nose Warm fur brushing my cheek Little noises came from the bundle Alternating between a purr and a squeak A sweet little furbaby melting my heart I think I’m an ailurophile I'm hesitant to depart Cute pink pads on tiny grey paws Curled up cuteness with tiny sharp claws Such a pampered life, The life of a cat I wish my life was just like that
