A PLEA FOR A CAT - Anonymous

A  PLEA  FOR  A  CAT Would you care for me, as I care for my cat ? Oh, I know she is treacherous and her thoughts go no higher Than mice and milk and a place by my fire; She is getting old and fat. But when I sit alone in my evening chair, I stroke her fur I like to know she is there and to hear her purr. Of course, you could not care for me Like that ! I can not purr as flatteringly as a cat.
