I wrote a doggy poem not long ago and Geoff Le Pard commented ‘What next? A Kitty ditty?’
Well, I didn’t want to write one similar to the doggy one, so I wrote this about my daughter’s cat.

Leila.
Someone said, ‘ Does your daughter own a cat?’
I answered, ‘Not at all, but a cat owns her.’
The puss is named Leila, and if on her chair you sat
She sits at your feet and gives a hard stare.
A pretty cat, she has long tabby fur
But is not very sociable, not liking people much.
But on my daughter’s lap you can hear her purr
As she delights in my daughter’s touch.

One day my daughter’s husband sat on her chair.
This annoyed Leila so she got her own back.
She sat on the Sky box, which he thought unfair
As she glared at him with a look so black
.
She runs the whole family with an iron rod
But the rod is set in a velvet paw.
She knows in ancient Egypt she’d have been a god
And that knowledge is enough for her.
