I think I have it! Good one Amberlee! Will send a PM with my guess.

When I Am An Old Cat

When I am an old cat I shall wear a diamond collar and leave my pawprints on white couches. I shall drink my cream with a touch of brandy and spit out my vitamins; I shall sit on the laps of dog people just to irritate them; I shall nap on top of the neighbor's petunias and perch on top of birdbaths and grow charmingly chubby.
