FAT CAT
By punchy
30 October 2007

I'm a cat, and that's that,
I don't sit on a mat,
Cos my backsides enormous,
And covered in fat,
It spills over the edges,
And catches and wedges,
Which isn't that comfy
So I'll stick to my bed,
I used to be a tabby,
But now I'm just smelly,
And all of my dangly bits are just scabby,
I'm moulting, insulting,
I'm covered in fleas,
And the only bit that's still hairy,
Is the back of my knees,
But that's matted and itchy,
And sore underneath,
where nobody grooms me,
And I cannot reach,
Its very well feeding me,
Billions of treats,
But food is my comfort,
And loves what I need,
So next time you catch yourself filling my face,
Just stop there and look,
I'm a total disgrace!

Aaaah - I'm not sure if children will like this poem but it will teach them that it is cruel to neglect a cat in this way. The RSPCA would have something to say to the owner. Cats and dogs are such clean animals and hate to be dirty. I know as I've had lots of animals in my life. People used to ask me if I put my little Jack Russell through the washing machine as she was so white and clean, but in fact she hated having a bath. I do miss her so very much as she died just over a year ago.

I just love your poem. It just about sums up my own cat that I have at home. I really enjoyed reading it and I am sure others will like it to. 
 
well done! :)

I would just like to say that I love my cat to bits and she is my baby. Your poem expreses cats and their nature. 
But my cat is in perfect contidion.
